NO! I don’t think it is boring as a genre, but some of the photography is - or a lot of it is, depending on your point of view. I think many in the “public” do not have a good appreciation of art but they know what pleases them. What pleases them may not be what pleases us to produce. I do some landscape stuff that pleases people and I do sell some of it. Although some of it pleases me, I frequently find myself getting bored and then I have to push the envelope. Mostly that is in the plant category and I generally don’t sell those, but they get into juried shows and various contests and I find that very interesting.
I think you can go either way. Produce stuff for the consumer that may bore you some of the time or do stuff that you do just for your own satisfaction.
Even on the stuff that I do for my own satisfaction, I sometimes get bored. Then its time to step back, maybe try some different approaches and study what others are doing to keep it interesting.
My two cents.
