no it makes perfectly good sense to me.
He (or she---didn;t really look) wants to know your opinion on additional ubiquitous photos...we all have them. I've actually collected all but one of of the ten listed--I don't do yoga. The list is basically the equivalent of the red shirt dudes on old star trek...they always died...it was cliche.
Since then I have learned several things: like how to take night sky photos and that unless you are using some fairly high end stuff rainbows look very insignificant and washed out when you try to take a pic of them.
Take almost nothing I say seriously--if it seems to make no sense what so ever it's probably meant as a joke....but do treat your water!
I would drop either the coiled rope throwing or yoga and add the "standing on a mountaintop looking out over the land" (like your avatar)

Love people and use things; never the reverse.
Mt. Katahdin would be a lot quicker to climb if its darn access trail didn't start all the way down in Georgia.

A number of my "cliché photos" have appeared in ATC calendars, various books, and catalogs; and have paid for a thru hike. I plan on continuing to take them.
What else is there to take a picture of?

These are not "my" photo cliche's. It's a list put together that I found as a blurb in an outdoor magazine. Obviously it was put together by someone whom doesn't get out often enough and only sees pictures in book and magazines.
