Default Weekly Poll: People or Places?

Last week's poll was kind of different because there were a few choices when we asked how much memory you carry when you go out photographing. Most people carried more than 2GB (74% of people actually).

This week we're back to having to pick one choice or the other... and I'd like to know, which you prefer to photograph: people, or places?

People photography, well, that's pretty easy to define, isn't it? Taking pictures where people are the main subject. So, portraits, street photography, wedding photography, anything where everything else comes second to the people involved.

Places, however, that's a lot broader. Places in this context isn't constrained to just landscapes, because there is a lot of detail to be considered within the landscapes. But in this situation, people are not the main focus. And for argument's sake, we'll also exclude animals from this because you can do portraits of animals.

So, tell us, which do you prefer? People or places? Why? Are you just shy or do you prefer pictures without people. Are you a diehard fan of Ansel Adams and therefore you prefer landscapes? Or are you a fan of Annie Leibovitz, so your goal is to take pictures of people like she does? So, vote, tell us why, and don't be afraid to pick one We had a fantastic response last week, so come on and share
