So is a photo of a band in front of a brick wall (c.f. http://www.rockandrollconfidential.com/hall/ ) still a cliche if it’s a performance photo of a band actually *playing* in front of an actual brick wall? Because in Durham, it’s damn hard to *find* a place to photograph a band that doesn’t involve a brick wall . . .
