Photographs why do people want them?

Honestly photographs freak me out, not just ones of me, but ones of others too, I often don't recognise myself or others in photographs and I'm not really into photo's of things either. I know most people are ok with them and make photography a hobby, but even the idea of taking a photograph let alone having one taken of me puts me in a state of near panic and I don't know why? I don't really understand what people get out of photographs.

    Essentially, for many reasons (probably linked to my autism traits) I don't like having photographs taken, and having no interest in the resulting product is probably a spin off from that!
