Brian, some possible scenarios
a. you were wearing a fascinating t-shirt (a LUG shirt!!!???!!!)
b. You are just a ruggedly handsome guy 
c. the photographer thought that you were Brad Pitt (see b)
d. the photographer thought that you were Angelina Jolie
e. the photographer was Angelina Jolie ( see b & c) 
e. The photographer has very poor vision and/or was drunk (see d)
f. Angelina Jolie was behind you
g. b, c & f are true (and possibly e)

I await with interest, the posting of the image once the mystery LUG member
confesses. 

Cheers
Geoff

FWIW if it was a TLA operative it's a thousand to one that he's ALSO 
a LUG lurker....

Might be just an itinerant street shooter on a karmic "turnabout's 
fair play" mission, though.
