You should value yourself more. If you think it's important to have history passed down more than 20 years or whatever the average person remembers, then your own life should be as valuable to you.
I can pass down stories much more valuable than a series of photos my kids will throw in the bin. My grandmother had huge photo albums, now she's gone and we just stuff them into the back of a closet.
Ideally you want stories to go with the photos. Your memory will fade. You'll forget some stories. For the stories you remember you'll forget details. Write the stories. The photos are a supplement for your stories.
I write notes on the photos.
