I agree with jewels... a photograph is a trophy. It says, I was there and I saw him/her. It's like getting an Autograph only easier.
In my career, I've met many celebrities and hung out with other people of relative fame. It's a very rare case that I've pulled out my camera and taken a photo (or for that matter, posed for a keepsake photo with the person). Part of it is simple professionalism. Another part is that I don't feel the need to place other people (regardless of who they are) on a pedestal.
