Re: OT - needing inspiration

2005-01-12 by Bob Michaels

Challenge yourself to something new. Switch from b&w to color (and USE
the color, don't just let it be there), switch subjects: people to
social landscapes or landscapes to people, change film formats: MF or
35mm or vice versa, go from country to city or vice versa, try macro,
try portraits or whatever you're not doing now. In other words, change
EVERYTHING, and all at once. It'll be like  starting photography all
over again.
