  It's whatever floats your boat, Marissa. What you like to shoot works for me. If you can find some of his work, check out a photographer named Lee Friedlander from the 1960's and 70's. He liked to shoot sidewalk scenes and reflections in windows.

Oh and welcome to BP. ;>)

  Welcome Marissa,
Like Mark said, whatever you see as art works. Subject matter is important but having good exposure & lighting can make anything look good.
Have fun - Carlton

  Yes, it's weird. But that's photography. Andy Warhol was weird and look what happened to him.

All truly great artists are weird. It is what gives them the ability to see things in a way that the majority can't, and then to capture them in a way that the majority can also see.

You probably have a brilliant future... or else we'll read about you in the newspapers.

  I take pictures of everything... Sometimes it turns out to be a plus and sometimes I look at what I have taken shots of and scratch my head.. :) I say shoot everything, you never know what your next master piece will be!!! BTW, Welcome!
