I don't now if this is where you are going with this but what about Back to 
the Future.  You could argue that the photo drives the story because marty's 
goal is to fix whatever he has changed which is documented by the fading of 
the photo of his family.  His success is marked when all of the family is 
back in the photo at the end.
