I have nothing against photos - I'm a photographer myself (and frequently use photos as backgrounds). Photography is an artform. It's just when someone floods the gallery with 15 - 30+ images (no matter how they were created) that have only minor variations, it just seems like all they are doing is farming for reward points. And burying the rest of us that upload one or two images a week. All it takes is a little consideration for our fellow artists. Simple.
