A couple/three guesses, at least.  1.  So he won't be recogized on the
street et al.; b. it's not entirely not in keeping with what seems to
be a certain ... problematization of photography (representation in
general) of his (see., e.g., Gravity's Rainbow); and iii. he may still
be a pretty goofy lookin' guy, who knows?  I know I don't allow anyone
