the kinds of photos I'm not interested in

I saw these wonderful shadows on the pavement and I thought I would take a shot, because you often see 'good' black and white images made up of interesting shadows.

I'm sure there are people who take much better shadow photos than this. That said, I don't think this is a bad photo. It's interesting and quite classic. Yet it doesn't inspire anything in me beyond vague attraction to its geometric curiosities. It's just too clinical.

(And it has no people in it.)
