Haven't posted photos in a while

It's been a busy time for me, and I have not had a chance to edit or post any photos I have taken over the past 5 months. I'm hoping to find some time to do just that in the next couple weeks... Until then, I will continue to post articles, that I find interesting/useful for beginners/amateurs like me!

Article: Top 15 Photography Clichés Everyone Hates

I was thoroughly amused reading this article - Top 15 Photography Clichés Everyone Hates.

Like with every article I have posted, there are points with which I agree, but others I don't.  The only photo cliché that they mention that I really NEVER understood is the white vignetting... I still don't know when this is ever a good idea. This "finish" was very popular in Morocco.  All the photo studios I saw there had their works with this white vignetting proudly displayed for all to see; honestly, it made me cringe every time I saw it!

Having said that, I feel like some the things mentioned in this article of these are artistic choices of the photographer, and really if it speaks to their art/vision, then by all means they should continue to do these things.
