Why take a photo of Celebs & Politicians

I find it interesting how people go out of their way to wait in line for pictures with a celeb or a politician. I guess for the most part I do not have that giant awe factor of them. They put their pants on one leg at a time (I assume), go to the bathroom, they are just more recognized on the street then everyone else. I am very big on taking pictures on vacations, and all that is good for memories, and I can assume that is why one would desire such a picture with a celeb so you have it for memory sake, I just can not think how important it is for some people who wait in long lines for them.

I was thinking about this last night when Cynthetiq, Skogafoss and I was sitting at the table that became the table where the Governor came. (you can see picture of Cynthetiq SKogafoss, my hands and legs with the governor in Cynthetiq blog if you really care). It was amazing watching how many people wanted to swarm around the governor and talk to him and get a photo with him. We were at the table, and the only thing I asked him was Yankees or Mets, and he is a Mets fan.

So what is the big deal that a photo of them or with them matters so much.
