If you could fill galleries taking pictures of wires and trees and Tom Hanks shaving in the morning, would you? And what is stopping you?

I would feel tremendously guilty if I took pictures of things that I had no interest in, and just did it for the money.

Generally a good photograph will cause the viewer to look at there world they live in in a different way. From an aesthetic standpoint a photographer can use photographic techniques to expose the beauty in scenes that are seen everyday.

If it's beautiful and interesting, then it's not banal anymore, right? That means your hypothetical "good" photographer is actually doing this:

1. Going to interesting places and taking pictures of interesting things or 2. Taking photos that appeal to basic senses (ex. attractive young woman doing attractive young woman things and fuzzy kitties and stuff).

..which you apply to "amateur photographers".
