There is a man looking at someone's picture and says:

Brothers and Sisters I have none,
but this man's father is my father's son.

Whose picture is the man looking at?

The answer is easy when you break it down.

Lets assume that I am the man looking at the picture, and look at the end bit of the riddle;

"my father's son"

My fathers son would be me, because I have no brothers or sisters remember. Think about it...

So, we can now look at the riddle like this:

"Brothers and Sisters I have none,
but this man's father is (me).

If the man's father is me, then he is my son.
