Applescript to Add Same Photo to a Group of Contacts

Question

Can anyone please help with an Applescript to add an image to a group of contacts in one foul swoop.
My intention is to add a logo image to a group of colleagues.
Here is what I have so far, - but receive this error
tell application "Address Book"
set the_people to every person in group "Pilots"
repeat with this_person in the_people
set pict_file to choose file of type "TIFF" with prompt "Choose a tiff file"
open for access pict_file
close access pict_file
set image of person to pict_file
try
end try
end repeat
end tell
The error I receive is
error "Can’t set «class az50» of «class azf4» to alias \"Macintosh HD:Users:Steven:Desktop: Pilot2.tiff\"." number -10006 from «class az50» of «class azf4»
I would like to reference the image file to the script and not have to reselect it for every record.
Thanks in Advance.

You might have a look at [this article|http://smithsrus.com/setting-an-address-book-picture-with-applescript> and try this:
*set pict_file to choose file of type {"public.tiff"} with prompt "Choose a TIFF file"*
*open for access pict_file*
*set pict_data to read pict_file as "TIFF"*
*close access pict_file*
*tell application "Address Book"*
*set the_people to every person in group "Pilots"*
*repeat with this_person in the_people*
*set image of this_person to pict_data*
*end repeat*
*end tell*
