The floral shots, landscapes, portraits, still life's, etc, all tend to have broad appeal when done well. But what specialty topics enthuse you personally?
For me it is aviation, military, and cycling.

| I like darker subjects. Cemeteries, gothic art, sadness, despair, etc... Victoria Frances is one of my favorite artists |

decaying fruit forced to smile
the quarter mile
dead things in milk
a delicate truth wrapped in perfumed silk
things out of frame
shame
key moments in history re-enacted by drag queens
out-of-print magazines

Abandoned and decayed things
Odd framing
Levitation :-) |

My main extracurricular interest, as of this instant, is the study and pursuit of dead men rhyming :-)

| anything that artists can get a fair shake on. commercial photography has its place but its total dominance here (e.g. Absolut challenge) is really getting old. where is the art. photographic gymnastics is cool, but really now - big budget for models and studio wins em all. enough. |

silly and/or earnest animals
animals that don't know any better
humans that don't know any better
unapologetic humor
apologetic humor
extremely subtle portraits (animal, vegetable, mineral)
dead decaying things
dilapidation in situ
abandonded things that aren't in a field all by themselves looking dpc-yee
subject with awful, campy, heavyhanded, but intriguing processing
subject with a great horrible punny title
subject with a great punny title

Has to do with the Dead Poets' Society, does it?
Back to the business at hand: Perhaps something that would fit perfectly in Mad Magazine.

Macros of bugs
Mineral Specimens
Street
Street art
Wildlife
The "impossible" shots, usually low light action, stuff that demands technique, fast glass and crazy high ISOs
Handheld long exposures, love to shoot in low light hand held, with my 15-85IS I can pull 1+ second handheld reliably, up to about 2-3 seconds if I don't mind a bunch of misses.
and lately: Fine art photography. Been trying to get together a collection for my walls, and it would seem that I don't want my shiny clean stuff up on the walls, I want blurry messes that make you question the photo, that give you a reason to look again, reason to look deeper. I'm thinking I'll start entering some of it and take the beating. :) |

Wildlife
plants
rural way of life
farm animals
dogs
cats
wild birds
In fact any wildlife that is not in captivity |

the boundary between light and shadow + an absent focal point = abstract
I'm not a good photographer, so I only capture my heart's desire about twice a year.

I want to see the hand-held 2 second shots. Now that intrigues me.
I would also like to see the dead guy rhyming while doing that quarter mile and hydrating with crunchy milk. |
