For a start -

Pictures of:

Cute kids doing cute things.
Kittens, no matter how cute.
Landscapes without clouds.
Anything taken with a 15 mm lens.
Car racing scenes without cars.
Cars racing without crashes.
Any picture of New York crowds.
Family celebrations where everyone is looking at the camera.
Flowers, flowers, flowers.
Seascapes.
Photos including the photographer's feet.
Most of my pictures of any topic.
