Personally, I don't recognise many of those cliches, because I'm not a pro, I'm not American and I don't study photography or art! I'm guessing that is who the blog was aimed at? I like what I like, and I take what I take - whether it is a cliche or not! There isn't a lot of room for absolute originality in photography, given how long its been around as a medium.
ABERS is spot on though. Think of the Antiques Roadshow, or some art programme with one of the experts who is very self opinionated, has seen it all before, and is prattling on about an artist and all their patrons and influences, whilst the viewer sits there nodding and grinning cos they haven't a clue what he is going on about. Thats a cliche, and you could argue that this blog falls straight into it!
