Its about who is in the picture, and the memory of this day. Sure you can google a better pic of this statue, but in this one, WE WERE THERE
Yes and sometimes the picture would be seen by multiple generations of your family. It's preserving the moment for future generations. It's not just about yourself and your remembrance. It's about sharing that memory in a tangible and visible way not just in a story of words.
Edit : My only complaint is that as the family photographer, I have the least amount of photographs with me in it. 😂
So what if you know what I look like, I'm taking the picture for me, not for you.
Not sure how old you are, but you sound young. Unless you've got a photographic memory, your recollection of things will start to fade, and those pictures will bring back memories you've forgotten. I've been traveling consistently for around 20 years now, and the photos are so precious. It's not about capturing a monument you can look at from other photos, it's about capturing you in that time as you were.

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
