One reason people place such importance on photographs is because it represents history in the making.
You might remember Hurricane Katrina from a few years ago. When people fled their homes, they weren't carrying desks and clocks - they were carrying photographs.
Other than pictures, photographs are the only way to preserve our mental images.
So, even a light moment of high school Sam here at his percussion set tells a story that people want to "read" - not just now, but far into the future, so they can "feel" what happened in the past - even if it is OUR present.
