lol well im no photographer- but i am an artist (which people consider the same anyway). well there are many things that inspire me. Perspective is the big one. Achieveing something greater than eye level glimpses. Beneath a subject- high in the sky away from the subject- Up close and personal- so many. so an exaggeratted angle may really open those eyes. There is also color. Subjects when they are new and when they are aged (like a ripe orange and a rotten orange). Also texture thats out of the ordinary should definetely be captured. If your talking about people- i think capturing individual emotion is very important. So is movement and pose. So many things to get those juices pumping. I'm surprised your well has gone dry! perhaps you have just set the basics aside by accident?

now as for a project sheet, you can always do something like taking a picture every day at 3:02pm no matter where you are- give your self a time limit. Like youll have from 3:02pm to 3:07pm to take a picture of something without fail. Dont give yourself second chances and review your photos at the end of the week. and do this schedule for like a month straight. Then look review the months worth of pictures and find the common theme in all of them. Then make sure the next months photos do not have that theme. Lol schedules make progress happen- espescially with some self disapline!

I think alot of the lack of ideas is my full time job, because I am at work on different shifts most days, days off are never the same. I do like routine, but in my job I dont get that. I like the idea of setting a time to take photos, just because of my job I couldn't be that strict with the time as for break times and stuff I dont get to go when I want all the time because there are 5 other people needing breaks and we arent supposed to go together. But I do like that idea alot, so I am going to think on it, on how to get this achieved. Thanks
