The individual in the photo and the two other men indicated that the person photographed, had lost a bet with the other men and as a result he was to have his photograph taken, with a wig on. One of the other men had a Polaroid camera with him and after she fitted the man in the picture with the wig, all three of them stepped out in front of the building where the photo was taken and the wig was then removed.
