I keep all my Google icons quarantined in one folder. Case in point:

Lol at the Photos icon. How does that in any way represent a photo or a camera? I guess it's an iris shutter but that's not something you notice too often on a real-life camera.

I think it was flower at some point.

Yea, it's abstracted but based on aperture blades of the shutter.

I think it's kinda morphed into a pinwheel, which still sorta makes sense as pinwheels have been a staple of photo and camera advertising for their bright colours and rapid movement.

Yea. I can't actually recall the icons before the rebranding.
