Specialties – Do they Exist?

All of the photography I enjoy seems to falls under the heading of Travel Photography. I might take people pictures as I’m strolling along a boulevard (that’s called Street Photography), or often right from my hotel window. Question: Isn’t Landscape Photography simply Travel Photography where you point your camera at a horizon? And whether I’m eating at a roadside diner or having a meal at an elegant restaurant, if the lighting is right, I’m snapping my first bite (Food Photography).

Also while traveling, I find taking shots of flea market knick-knacks and folk crafts as interesting as capturing museum artifacts, but calling it Photojournalism might be a bit overblown here! And what is Wildlife Photography? Your travel itinerary can take you to a local zoo, a nature preserve, or the deep wilderness, all equally challenging when it comes to getting great photos. You get the idea.

So take a look at my portfolio and share your comments. I’m interested to get your take on this concept of everything being some form of Travel Photography. And feel free to ask questions about the individual photos.
