How did his user account lose permissions to a folder of pictures?

He didn't "discover owner" by opening any permission settings. He is simply asserting that he is the owner of the pictures he took, in a non-technical sense.

He doesnt talk about pictures at all. That was someone elses supposition.

It's not clear from the snippet of text what the issue is, but it sure looks like he opened up the folder ACLs and found that his account wasn't "Owner" for some folder/files, and now hes mad that he is being made to elevate his own account for that folder, because "He is the OWNER!" of the files in a property rights context.
