Failed to convert parameter value from picturebox to a Byte[]

The code to save an Image

 private void saveLogo()
            {

         SqlConnection   conn = new SqlConnection(dbcon.ReturnConnection());

            try
            {
         SqlCommand sqlCommand1 = conn.CreateCommand();
                sqlCommand1.CommandText = "INSERT INTO OrgLogo(ID,LogoName,Picture) values(@ID,@Name,@Picture)";

                conn.Open();
                if (sqlCommand1.Parameters.Count == 0)
                {                  
                   sqlCommand1.Parameters.Add("@ID", System.Data.SqlDbType.Int, 4);
                   sqlCommand1.Parameters.Add("@Name", System.Data.SqlDbType.VarChar, 50);
                  sqlCommand1.Parameters.Add("@Picture", System.Data.SqlDbType.Image);
                }
          sqlCommand1.Parameters["@ID"].Value =Convert.ToInt32( editID.Text);
           sqlCommand1.Parameters["@Name"].Value = editName.Text;
           sqlCommand1.Parameters["@Picture"].Value = pictureBox1;

           sqlCommand1.ExecuteNonQuery();             

            }

            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);

            }
            finally
            {
                conn.Close();

            }
        }

The code to open the image file

protected void LoadLogoPic()
        {

            this.openFileDialog2.ShowDialog();

            string strFn = this.openFileDialog2.FileName;
                this.pictureBox1.Image = Image.FromFile(strFn);
                this.openFileDialog2.Filter = "All Files|*.*|BMP Files|*.bmp|JPG Files|*.jpg"; 
                FileInfo fiImage = new FileInfo(strFn);
              m_lImageFileLength = fiImage.Length;
                FileStream fs = new FileStream(strFn, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read);
                m_barrImg = new byte[Convert.ToInt32(this.m_lImageFileLength)];
                int iBytesRead = fs.Read(m_barrImg, 0, Convert.ToInt32(this.m_lImageFileLength));
                fs.Close();



        }

Try this way;

Image img = picturebox1.Image();
byte[] arr;
ImageConverter converter = new ImageConverter();
arr=(byte[])converter.ConvertTo(img, typeof(byte[]));

command.CommandText = "INSERT INTO ImagesTable (Image) VALUES('" + arr + "')";
command.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
command.ExecuteNonQuery();
