This picture reminded me of when I was a teenager and used to go see a friend of mine. His family lived in an up scale part of our town and his mother didn't let me park my 'old' car in their driveway or even in front of the house because of what the neighbours might think.
I'm sure this guy was proud they wanted to take his picture not realising it was only because they needed it in case there was any chickens missing after he was gone.
