Photos: We’re Getting a Little Liberal On What Deserves One

Just feet. (Maybe it’s because mine aren’t that appealing to look at) A pigeon in the sky. A folding chair. An unimpressive rock. A blank wall.

It’s really amazing what people think are compelling enough to take pictures of AND share with us on Facebook and Twitter. (Notice I’m not adding any other social media platforms, because they’re dumb. Yes that includes you Google+)

Getting back to the subject at hand. If you have some inanimate object, make sure it’s appealing. Food, you count, for the most part. An inside joke with a friend, yes, you pass. A picture of your potted plant. You’re unacceptable, unless you’re a venus fly trap or something over the top. Over 5 pictures of landscape. We get the picture, no need to beat it into our skulls. Generally anything that when you take a picture of, you think to yourself, I wonder if this is interesting? Don’t post to social media.

I know I’m going to get badgered by folks for this post, who have many lovely photos of random objects, that are actually interesting or have some sentimental value. To you all, I relish the debate of how much value those actually provide other people. And to you people who comment on the picture that someone post’s of a pigeon walking through the grass. Please stop. You’re just exacerbating the problem.
