I would see using photo's as making you look like the sort of chap who uses greengrocer's apostrophes (or greengrocers') whether that was your intention or not.

What about pianos vs. piano's ?
I don't think I've ever had to use either of those words, so don't have a position on that one. If I saw someone else using either I wouldn't think it to be actually wrong.

I have looked at some of the other Forums and I have no idea what language they are in.

I know, I know, it's a comma, but I think he was going for an apostrophe.
