Maybe they shouldn’t kiss grandma’s pictures because isn’t that idolatry? After all, it’s showing affection to a graven image other than God.

You're really being very snarky and childish. There's a huge difference between your stupid comment here and having a statue/image in a grotto in a church with candles to light and a kneeling pad in front of it so that you can kneel and pray to whoever that statue/image is of! See below:

I like the photo. I think that would be a very peaceful place to pray. It’s simple but beautiful. The image of the Incarnation is especially beautiful. Reflecting on the Incarnation is, I think, a very good think. Particular before prayer, silent or verbalized.

Not really. We give the Virgin Mary and the saints the same sort of reverence that you give Grandma.
