Probably posted by some jaded soul. There are always new ways of looking at things and still quite a bit of enjoyment in looking at the familiar.
Well, they may be cliche', but if you look at what sells...that would be the list.

Yeah MJ this may be cliche photography but, it does'nt mean it's any less the effective of effectual! I mean if this is as cliche is determined and defined then art from most of history is cliche!
As I'm not from the school of conventional photography or conventional photographic thought I tend to look past such easily categorised things such as this. They have no purpose other than to sway generalised conceptions of photography and art.
What the photoblogs.org guys are saying is that these are the subjects that amateur photographers are most likely to tackle i.e. if you want to be original, it'll be easier if you stay away from those subjects.
That's all.
PS: put that pistol back in its drawer now. ;-)
Ok well that takes me out of the running completely ... and guess that makes me an amateur photographer but I always say why take a picture is you are not going to enjoy it afterwards.
Looks like that covers pretty much every possible photograph that ever was or ever will be taken.
You could look at it two ways, as a reason to be carefree with your camera, or to put it away forever.
I'm gonna keep using mine and try to take the best darn cliches I can.
Great post.
