Not even remotely. I suspect they had other priorities than taking souvenir snaps. In fact, many of those children and youths have already made it abundantly clear why they were such negligent photographers. They were trying not to freeze up in horror, trying not to literally wet themselves (some did, apparently), hiding behind mattresses in locked bedrooms, doing their very best not to make any unnecessary noise, such as screaming, crying, or clicking with a camera, scrambling to get away from the killer you expect them to have photographed, struggling desperately to reach the police and get them to come and help, texting their parents for some love and support (and imploring them to call the cops again, who were still in no hurry to get there), wondering why the world had gone mad, trying to help their friends from being slaughtered, often in vain, kissing their dead friends goodbye, running in panic from place to place, often half-naked, and swimming for their lives while dodging bullets, often in vain. Not to mention begging the bastard for mercy.
christ, it doesn't bear imagining.
but not to worry, lupercal. not even all of the bodies have been found yet, so at least some of the mobile phones might someday turn up. maybe some of those kids will even get posthumous credit for their photos, and you'll at last have the horror-images you crave.
