They were in fact,

1) taken by Trayvon Martin

In other words, Trayvon Martin placed a value on those self-portraits.

I don't think keeping photos on your phone is any sign of something being important to you, it could equally be claimed that he took them for some random reason and didn't care enough about them enough to delete them.

I think if you looked at pretty much any cell phone for any person in the world (who uses it to take pictures) you will find images on that phone that the owner didn't remember taking, never looked at again once they were sent/posted/whatever, or the owner didn't even know were taken. Most people don't delete these images unless they run out of room to take more.
