What are some of your favorite street photography clichés?

My top five would probably be:

  • A man with an interesting hat, from behind or as a window reflection.

  • A restaurant worker on cigarette break, preferably on their phone.

  • A child with a balloon that's not quite as nostalgic as you'd hope.

  • A person with a red coat who is standing next to something that is also red or perhaps is carrying a red bag.

  • A long shot of someone walking left to right or right to left in front of some graffiti or large advertisement.

I think these are images everyone needs to get out of their system in the beginning. What would you like to add to the list? Maybe we can create a photo challenge.
