Old rusty cars are best done in colour. Along with sunsets and puppy dogs.

5- everything on the planet earth or photographed by the Hubble Space telescope.
I will only accept Ultra-violet or deep Infrared astronomical pictures from this time forward. Why, 'cause I want too.

Re: Overdone Cliche Subjects
I think that it is a cliche to "notice" that any subject has already been done or overdone. If anyone thinks that anything they are doing is new or different in a significant way, they are most likely kidding themselves. There are very few Van Goughs, very few originals. And even the originals worked on the same subjects as everyone else.
Re: Overdone Cliche Subjects
If anyone tells you its been done before, just tell them:
"Sure it has, but not by me!"
Doesn't mean it isn't cliched though.
Re: Overdone Cliche Subjects
Everything that has been photographed already, and that I have no interest in photographing myself :-)
