I have a feeling it is a pile up of things and not only the photo itself. But i get where your coming from if it was the photo itself.
For me, a key factor (and I'm not completely convinced of anything in this case, of course) was BM's poor impulse control back in Indiana. He was at work, at a large project in which his own work (landscaping) was in no way the primary focus on the day that he lost his temper. Other people, people who were important in giving him references etc were there. His impulsivity and aggression were apparently witnessed by many and he was charged with assault. That's a big deal for a person who probably relies quite a bit on word of mouth and must surely have worked his way up the landscaping contractor pyramid to have gotten that contract.
This shows an inability to govern his temper, even when it's in his own interest to do so. So it started there, and everything I see in him shows a man who is keen to present himself a certain way (including the hotel picture) and likes to come across in a certain way.
