Is there an easy way to grab a users LinkedIn profile photo?

Ideally similar to how you would with Facebook - http://graph.facebook.com/userid/picture

You can retrieve the original photo size with this call:

http://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~/picture-urls::(original)

Note that this could be any size, so you'll need to do scaling on your side, but the image is the original one uploaded by the user.
