I feel the same. You can't make good pictures being interested only in photography - you can't make good portraits if you're not interested in people, etc. Something has got to make you leave home (or enter the studio). Well, OK - you could make nice pictures of your cameras, but that's really a "niche" activity :)

David Hurn explains what I think you mean in the chapter about choosing a subject in 'On being a photographer' - it's available on the web somewhere - Google will find it. In it he suggests that being a photographer is secondary to other interests, and it is the pursuit of these interests, of course coupled with technical and visual skills, that often produces the best photographs. --- Bob
