Photos and art don't have to be unique to be good or valuable. No one learns by only doing new things - what would happen if someone refused to write a hello world program or a database or whatever because it had already been done? I agree with the overall article sentiment that it is important to take in experiences rather than stand around taking photos you will never actually look back at, but "it's been done better, I shouldn't do this" is a mindset which will hold you back.
