I agree with you. We should definitely strive for something
resembling serious photography at times. We should also strive to
improve our family photography, rock, tree or building photography or
whatever.
I just feel that we should not try to shut down someone who wishes to
stay in the area of family photography, whether partially or
completely. It can not only be very rewarding, but can also be high
quality. And at times, family photography can be very serious.
The main thing is that we shoot, and that we try to improve. I don't
think the subject matter is the most important thing, as long as it
is important to us as the photographer.
