Thank you for your carefully considered &...Frieda,<br /><br />Thank you for your carefully considered 'ode to the cliche.' Read Elizabeth's blog post about her opinion regarding visual cliches and agreed only with some of it. Yours is the more forgiving and certainly less cynical view!!! As you say, how can your own photo of what you see captured in an instant of cosmic time be a cliche, or are your photos any the less beautiful for it? Far more interesting and appealing to me than worrying about what one is doing being a cliche, is the vision of Scotlanders all outside happily taking photos of these perfect wintery scenes, then crunching through the snow to their cozy kitchens for hot cocoa or a nip of something a bit stronger. If this is behavioral cliche, then so be it! <br /><br />The human condition is not so varied that we can avoid the repetitive. I suppose the determination whether any tangible representation of an emotion is art or not, can only be a matter of personal opinion. <br /> <br />There is also the study of meme theory which might explain a certain amount of the imitative nature of styles of quilts or paintings or other art. Neither can every quilter or other artist come up with something absolutely unique every single time. And if Elizabeth isn't careful, people will begin to copy her edgy, architectural style and then it will become a cliche as well.arts4allhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06251970436965021618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569867727430293660.post-89934672141960334432010-12-08T19:45:41.827+00:002010-12-08T19:45:41.827+00:00I live in the southern USA, we are lucky to get a ...I live in the southern USA, we are lucky to get a dusting of snow every 10 years.

The only thing I don't like is, I think this weather is the culprit to why you have not received my package of ATCs yet!
