Quibble: I hate, despise, loathe the dilution of the word "rare" to mean, well, in this case "somewhat interesting and not commonly known".

Photos cannot be rare. Physical copies of a photograph might be. Photos are by their nature singular instances of artistic or technical action, so all of them are equally rare.

"Photo" means both the image itself and a physical copy of said image. So if you agree that physical copies can be rare, then either you agree that photos can be rare or you are idiosyncratically using a different definition of "photo" than everyone else.

BS. Only if you pedantically define 'photo' as collecting an image at xyz location at a particular instant. I'm quite certain that photos of the Eiffel Tower are NOT rare.
