Everything’s been done and everything’s been cliched up the ass. Making a list of cliches at this point is one long cliche. Should that stop anyone? Giving up is a cliche.
Photography has had an entirely new technology to play with the last ten years- other than better low light possibilities, what new genre has it created? And being retro- thoroughly cliched.
With everyone as a photographer now photographing everything, anything that is even slightly original is copied and cliched within months if not weeks. Shit- finding something “new” is… cliched. I don’t care about cliches, don’t care about what’s “new.”
If I like it, I’ll photograph it, and if I can’t, I’ll pay for your book (if I can afford it). I have a couple of Parr’s earlier books, until he became a cliche. Photography is one big cliche, get used to it and you may have some fun.
