I should also add, that I've always been bothered by the stuff I can't see. I'm sure people have felt the same. That's why aperture fever exists. Photography enables me to overcome those limitations.
Admittedly, some of my friends wonder why I do it when I could just look at the same pictures in a book, but there's something different about doing it yourself - getting intimate with the subject in a way you wouldn't with a cursory glance at a finished picture.
Besides, if people weren't to take pictures of things other people have taken better pictures of, Tourists wouldn't bother taking cameras with them on holiday. It's about your personal experience with that famous person place or thing.
