Don’t make attempts at semi-funny comments about the picture guys. Don’t say something like “Haha the prototypical “look at me I’m holding a guitar; I’m a musician” picture. Perfect choice.” because they’re waiting for it, and they’ll immediately change the picture, leaving you to bask alone in your foolishness.
