Seeing a photo of myself helps me with all these things. Trust me...
I was thinking the same thing. When I look at pictures of myself, I cringe. I am so glad I don't have to look at myself all day. I pity the people who do.

Seriously, I believe it goes back to motive and attitude of heart. If you are hanging pictures of you (or your family and friends) all over the place, and you are idolizing those people and individuals above the Lord, then certainly you need to consider your heart and perhaps remove the pictures. Anything can become an idol. I have lovely pictures of my children that (as others have said) remind me of God's goodness in giving me a wonderful family.
