Group therapy for those of us trying to kick the habit...and just to show Ailsa that she's not alone. Feel free to post your own examples in this thread. let's purge ourselves, people :D
Here's one of mine from last May:

I have never taken a photo of a dinosaur statue in a graveyard...
-
Don't try and sneak out on a technicality ;)
-
Guilty as charged...

guilty of all three. in my defense, i do live in the land of dinosaurs. footprints and petrified things and all that. graveyards are actually pretty uncommon here, compared to the midwest where there is one every 2 miles. no excuse for the statue photos, really.

a statue in a cemetery (i think my few dinosaur shots are all digital)

Shameless - the lot of you. ;)

Not forgetting, of course...
Like I needed to humiliate myself even more than I already have been.

Here's my favorite, albeit tacky statue contribution.
I must also confess the very first Holga photo
I ever made was of the stature of "Nike" The Goddess of Victory.

Are modern sculptures counted in?
not quite statue... not quite dinosaur...
-
OK this is one of many! I could fill this forum with grave yard shots.....I will only bother you with one

My soul feels clean now!

Nice photo Sandeha! I am very guilty of these particular cliches and, in fact, these above are pretty good. But I feel that pretty good isn't good enough for cliched subjects. Yours, Sandeha is pretty damn nice.
Anyway... let me browse my cemetery & statue & dinosaur folders and see what we have. I will spare you the actual onslaught by posting a couple of the better ones - I hope.

Might I add a few other cliches: mannequins, grafitti and placentas.
[attachment deleted by admin]
-
Once, I was taking a photograph of an active volcano (Asama-yama), and this damn dinosaur walked into the frame and spoiled the shot.
Does that count? Skorj.
[attachment deleted by admin]

... and placentas.
Yeah... I have folders and folders of placenta photographs, I know what you mean! None as good as this one though.
-
Guilty a lot. Not guilty on the placenta deal.....Wow!
[attachment deleted by admin]
-
ah yes... lets see how many headstones we can fit in one photograph.
[attachment deleted by admin]
-
not a fan of headstone or statue shots, but, boy, Gordon's shot of the placenta gets my vote. why didn't I think of that when I had my kids--I hear they are quite tasty with grilled onions...
one statue shot did slide in there some how....
[attachment deleted by admin]
-
Do shrines count? I do have a shrine habit that I have been trying to get rid of for years
[attachment deleted by admin]

Gordon gets that placenta shot out every few years at the drop of a hat. This whole thread was in fact an elaborate ruse cooked up (excuse the pun) by he and I to give him the opportunity - however oblique - to pull it out of the hat again.
Me, I never tire of seeing it, so am always happy to oblige.
-
Put me down for the cliche tri-fecta too.

It's a great shot - and it's a long time since I've seen someone quite so happy in their work. I'm obviously in the wrong business.
-
Well, for modern sculpture, here's one.

Well, Ed, I have been accusing of whipping many things out inappropriately ut never my placenta photograh. Ha!
Gary that is my favorite dinosaur on the page though. Really. And it is also a fair and reminds me that I am sort of tired of seeing those carnivals and fairs also. I know I have shot them a lot but not sure if I have one ready to roll... The fair is still good mind you but a lot of the stuff is pretty redundant and we all have done it.
And actually after two halloween parties and a zombie walk I am sort of tired of people in costumes. I'm sure that will pass though. I still like kids in costumes but do see an abundance of them as well...
But boobs are great! And not overdone at all.

Gary! Dang man, I've never seen this dino photo!!!
It's a prize!
Totally love the color and angle.
It's my Gary fav now.

I was on the verge of coming clean with a few more but then looked in my archive and saw just how many grave shots I have...frankly I'm embarrassed! In my defence...I have no Dinosaur shots and no placenta shots that I am prepared to admit to in open forum
-
another dinosaur doing his "thang"...

Gosh, this must be the best thread - ever!
-
There's actually some really good work here; some quite wonderful images. Not my intention when I started this off, but I'm really glad you've turned it round and added some serious class to a crass thread.
Maybe we should put out a Blurb (http://www.blurb.com) book called something like:
"Beyond The Cliche"
"Overcoming The Cliche"
"The Cliche: Defeated"
"Taking The Cliche & Giving it a Serious Kicking"
"The Filmwasters vs The Cliche"
"Confounding The Cliche"
"Laughing in the Face of Cliches"
"Breathing New Life into The Cliche"
.....I could go on.

But before you do go on (and on), we could of course invite submissions from all for a Collaboration called `Cliches`, or perhaps another of your marvelous title suggestions?
After `Disposable` finishes of course! Skj.
-
Wow, definitely no placenta shots, no dinosaur stuff either. I live next to a cemetery, but I try to keep my explorations in there to a minimum. I did go in there to test out when I got my Yashica Mat 124. Nothing special, but thought I'd contribute my clich?s. :)

great shots, Otto!
-
damn I just posted a statue picture on the vivitar thread and I didn't even know it was a sin ???
Oh the shame!!!
To make matters worse, the dinosaur shot is still in the camera!
-
I was going to post this in the Vivitar Wide thread, but I felt it might be more at home here, among the cliches. Now, admit it, how many of you are capable of walking past a really good piece of protest without whipping out a camera?

Not me.

Nice. Does graffiti count?

Here's just a couple off the top of my head... Sometimes statues and cemeteries seem to go together. No dinosaurs for me though. I'm not quite that old.
[attachment deleted by admin]

I almost forgot about this one. I guess it fits the bill. Shame on me.
I like "Breathing Life Back Into the Cliche."

One of the first Holga shots i took in my favourite graveyard,

rest in peace ?!?!?!?!?
[attachment deleted by admin]

No Dino's, placentas or graffiti...
Must work on that, but who could possibly do a better placenta than Gordon?
No graveyards per se, but I do have this one of an anti-war memorial in the sand
[attachment deleted by admin]

more .... bloody druids, they get everywhere dont they? I just had to evict a load from my bathroom - I'm sure they crawl up through the u-bend. Leaving all their mistletoe litter and chanting all night. I contacted the council pest control who have set traps, but the pesky little things breed so quickly they soon develop resistance to the poisons. I'm thinking gas is the next option.

these are very nice, hamster. cliche or no.

sh**
And I thought I had buried this nasty 10 minutes of my life, but all the guilt, disgust and shame came washing back over me as I read this topic. That I might find absolution I dug back and unearthed this never before printed image.
It was once i tell you, just once in October 1996. The date is scrawled across the neg sleeve there to accuse me forever more. And one frame, just one frame I promise (OK OK, there may have been 4) before all the vile wrongness of what i was doing welled up inside me and I rushed off to finish the roll on a fuel bowser. (yeah I know- don't start. It was a bad time in my life)
penance?

Thanks eyecaramba, I must admit a certain adiction to spooky places! I refuse to be guilty!!!

Guilty...This is a shot from Harper's Ferry, a small, historical town in West Virginia.

I put off developing this film for months, afraid to confront my sins.....
