I have one on my bedside table of my mother walking to the beach in Bridlingten. She looks happy and when I first put it into a frame after she died she was older in the photo than i was. Now I look at a photo of a woman much younger than I am.
Then one photo each of both daughters with their first babies. Lots of photos of the cats I've had and I put one on the wall yesterday, one of my lovely Jasper who died in February and till now I couldn't face looking at pictures of him.
No photos of me but one of MIL as the GCs liked her. I take a lot of photos and always have a recent one of the grandchildren in the kitchen.
I would feel lost without my photos.
I don't think it is common. I just don't have the grandpiano to display them on.
Great Nephew Asked Me To Buy Him Some "Candy"?
AIBU to feel enraged after all these years?

Should remedy that!
