This is ridiculous. Shoot what you like. Show what you like. YOU make
the rules; no one else.
If someone doesn't like shots of babies, or kittens, or rocks, or
strangers on the street, don't look at them. If the viewer has
problems with these pictures, the viewer has problems, not the
photographer.
Shoot what pleases you and what you are emotionally or artistically
or hopefully both, attached to.
