Which Clichés Have I Made Today?

Well, actually none yet, as I’m just about to rush out and take them, but I really love this rant by M.F. Agha published in 1937 in US Camera, the Hippocratic Oath of a Photographer, republished on the Monsters and Madonnas blog of the  International Center of Photography Library.

Of course it needs a little bringing up to date, though I think I’ve taken a few candid pictures of fat ladies, finding those Marlene Dietrich posters is a little tricky, though some – such as the Mexican child – are still rather too common.

But suggestions as to updates are welcome!
