Another Challenge For August: Cliches

July 30th, 2011
I did a self portrait challenge in June, and the movie challenge in July. I'm failing miserably at keeping up with the movie challenge, and I think it's because I had a set list and some days it was hard to find an idea for the movies I had left. I was going to take a break in August, but I've decided to try a different type of challenge; one that doesn't have a set list. I've decided to do cliches. I just googled chliches and found a site that lists a TON of them.

I'm going to pick one a day and try to represent it. Sounds like a good plan [ask me again mid August, and my response might be different]. I know people are already doing the happy challenge, but if anyone wants to join in, please do! I'm going to tag mine "augustchallenge-cliches". Anyone else want to participate?

I'm sure I can come up with a few- I feel like I'm getting overwhelmed by all the challenges- but I still think they're a lot of fun. This one should be very creative!

I like this!

I might do a few. Not a whole month though.

@olivetreeann There are a lot of them. I like having options though. Sometimes people post challenges I would never think of. They typically help me come up with new ideas.

@brumbe Did you make that one up? I didn't hear of it on a discussion.

@roth It's just something different. There are only a million to choose from too.

@amz87 You don't have to, but it's nice when others join in. It helps give inspiration. I especially like when multiple people pick the same thing to represent. It's interesting to see how everybody does it.

@triciaanddazzle It's a fun idea! I went through the list and got a few ideas. I just don't have the attention span to do it for the whole month lol. Who knows, maybe I'll surprise myself!

That's virtually my entire ethos. I'm still hoping to win a weekly theme somehow so I can set the next one to be "satirise other people's clichéd shots"

i'm ahead of the game with this shot it is first on the list ;)
i've bookmarked the list for inspiration, what are we tagging them as for future reference?

This seems like an entertaining challenge...I might just try it out.

I've decided to make August all about the boy; my son turns 2 on the 15th (right in the middle) so it "his" month... but a few cliches could be fitted in.. ;-)

I am working on the once upon a time theme for this week, but I thing I can combine some of the cliches with that.

@brumbe Jani and I talked about me doing an abstract challenge since he always posts such cool kitchen objects, but I'm going to wait until September or October.

I think some of the greatest photos are cliched. They wouldn't be cliches if they weren't good right..?
