Just a general poll really, I find that when i show people my photographs, it can be hard for me to get excited about them. I get tired of them so fast. There are a few "classics" that i still like but because i've seen them so much sometimes they seem to fall in the cliche category for me, even though they might not be to the general public. An example would be this one old man and baby. One of my first ever blacka and whites, i was incredibly proud of it at the time (and i still like the exposure) but the subject seems overdone and cliche to me. Though this was about 5 years ago, before the anne geddes baby hipe. Ugh anne geddes, i appreciate her skill, but i always feel sorry for the little kids used so commercially.
