I've got the original Polaroid print of this pic. It was taken by Mickie Rickford, "President" of the UK fan club. I bought a pile of stuff from her archive a while back.
Nice photo! I also have some of Wilkinson's letters to Mickie and they're very illuminating about Lou's crazy behaviour c1974 around the world.

Wilkinson was Lou's tour manager, she had a very difficult job (!) but they did have a close working relationship.
Great picture!

Is she Barbabra Fulk, who wrote a chapter in Diana Clapton's book "Lou Reed & the VU"?
page 101-107: "She's My Best Friend: three years [1972-75] on the road with tour manager Barbara Fulk".

No idea. I sent scans of several pics to babs a few years ago. She sent them on to a Lou Reed biographer and he used this one in his book. In return she sent me a pile of copies of interesting stuff from her files. Tour financial info, sheets from lou's lyrics book etc. I posted some of it here before.

Yes one and the same. She lives in NY now.

I've wondered for a long time why there never seemed to be any pictures of Doug playing with Lou in 75/76, despite performing on a whole tour, but I finally found two shots, the first from March 9/75 in Amsterdam and the second from the 25th in London:
