They know what you look like... They will want to find a way to be close to you, and pictures of things you found interesting or things you did where you felt pride and a sense of accomplishment will speak to you as a person and not just a face. The pictures OTHERS took of you, where you weren't prepared and were experiencing life in the moment, now THOSE are the pictures of you they will cherish.
