> For example, my mother would complain about my travel photos that didn't contain people, or would look for things like whether the people looked happy. She couldn't care less about the rule of thirds, bokeh or dramatic lighting.

Heh, this is one thing I regret about my past photos — I have plenty of travel photos, but very few with myself in them.

And while I know my composition and lighting fundamentals, my photos will rarely be on par with someone with the luxury to wait for the right moment, or something from a postcard or the best of Flickr or 500px.

I'm also rarely in my travel photos, but that's more because I don't like looking at myself in photos.

Now, but will you think the same in 20 or 30 years?

I'm already at the half century mark, and while I do go through my older photos occasionally, I am still happiest when looking at photos of our dogs.

Who knows if that will change in 20 or 30 years.
