I mean, we don't have any record of a picture being taken outside of the galaxy, yet we have a picture of our milky way galaxy. What? It doesn't make any sense.

There is no picture of the Milky Way from outside. You'd have to put a camera at least 30,000 lightyears away to make such a picture.
We do, however, have lots of pictures and data about the Milky Way from inside. These indicate that the Milky Way looks a lot like other SBc galaxies, and we have lots of pictures of those.
Pictures of other galaxies are easy to take with a camera on a telescope. Some galaxies, like M31 and the Magellanic Clouds, can be seen with the naked eye on a dark night.

We don't have photos of our galaxy from outside of it. Knowing the density of stars in the arms of the milky waqy, we can look at pictures of other galaxies and just say the milky way looks like this...

we can make computer generated pictures, based on the information of the location of heavenly bodies. but an actual photograph from outside our galaxy doesnt exist

telescopes like Hubble are launched into space , they are equiped with cameras that send the data and images back to earth.
