The picture might contain a file, that is common in ARG games. Unfiction has a tutorial about it which says:

"Steganography

Computer files (in this case images) contain unused or insignificant areas of data. Steganography takes advantage of these areas, replacing them with hidden files. Steganography can also be used to create digital watermarks like imbedded trademarks, but for the purposes of playing Alternate Reality Games, the focus remains on the file hiding capability of this process. A popular misconception about Stegged images is that they look different than images that have not had files hidden in them. The image remains unchanged in appearance."

If you go here:

There are instructions for downloading and using two different programs to desteg an image. I can't download programs onto this computer so I'm hoping someone who can will check this out for me.

[edit - clarified the title of the thread - kona]

 		I believe it was eeeek as well who posted that it may be an image so that it won't show up on a search engine. Since part of the final solution will be the address that he's being held, this makes sense as well.
