It probably doesn't make a difference, except if your /var partition (or
/home for that matter) won't hold the photos directory as well as the
regular data that is held there. But I do remember that in OpenBSD you
can save your /home directory when upgrading , so there's something to
keep in mind.
Hope this helps
