Cliché, to many photographers this is a dirty word. Photographs of Yosemite Valley from Tunnel View, the Tetons from Ox Bow Bend, the Watchman in Zion from the bridge, Delicate Arch – all are considered by many to be clichés.
What exactly is a cliché? Something that has lost its originality, ingenuity, impact from long overuse. In other words, it’s been done before – and many times. Some have gone so far as to suggest that there are no photographs left in Yosemite Valley that are not clichés.
Not all of us agree.
