Maybe he paid $1 to some homeless guy walking the street, and so it's a work for hire.
We shouldn't have to guess about photographs on WP. In any case, the license used to upload the picture indicates that the subject is the creator, and to my mind if the actual photographer is someone other than the subject, then the subject is NOT the creator of the image.

There are two reasons why I won't ask him. The first is that I can't.
