    That's a rare picture. He's very strict about that. Once in New Square at a simcha someone took a picture of him. He went up to the guy and demanded the film.

    I just read that the Satmar Rebbe disliked pictures taken of him because as it's written in the sefer yaare devash (?) that a photograph contains an element of tumah. Do you know anything about this idea?

    I tried to find something on this but didn't succeed.

    It could have been, as many stricter Haredim see photos as a forbidden image. I once saw a Pessach Haggada with illustrations but all the faces on the drawings were "white spots". People without faces.

    Actually there aren't too many photos of the Satmarer Rebbe:
