Each decade seems to have a definitive photo cliche. In the 60's it was the "grain be damned" pushed Tri-X shot of the gritty inner city. In the 70's it was a portrait shot with a backlit subject standing against a tree with a cascade of internal reflections coming across the image. In the 80's I think it was a row of brightly pastel colored rowboats tied to a dock. In the 90's - I'm not sure. The 2000's I think it was the super-saturated nature porn shot (hello Ken Rockwell). What do you folks think were the leading cliches by decade?
