It is al pi sod. i dont know the mekor, but this is what i have heard. One should not leave an image of oneself in the world after 120. Therefore the Steipler, the previous Toldos Aharon Rebbe and many others were makpid not to have their photos taken. Apparently, after the Steipler found that there were many pictures of him around, he was no longer makpid on it.
