Let alone including yourself in the picture. I know how you look like.
Let alone including your loved ones in the picture.
Even when their disappointment of having to face away from the monument is clearly visible in the photo.
And then you make them do stuff like ‘hold the sun in your hands’ or whatever.
I agree.
We have one (and just one) such picture, and my parents have framed it on the wall. And it wasn’t even shot at any special location, just a random roadside.
