Where are you finding your photographic inspiration?

9 years 6 months ago #406119 by Don Granger
Most likely a question that has been asked a million times already.  I'm new here and looking to meet new folks.  So, bear with me while I make some small talk.

Once a month my wife and I head down to Barnes & Noble, she goes one way, I go another.  We sit there and read magazines and what ever new we find in print.  Usually by the time we leave, we both have a stack of magazines that are 3 inches thick.  Mine are of course photography related.  I like going to the book store because you get exposure to so many magazines from around the world.  I don't subscribe to any, because some months, some magazines don't do anything for me.  This is where I personally find my inspiration. 


How about you?

Magazines are a big source and plenty of photo coffee table books from some of photography's greatest best.

A couple of cups of coffee in the morning. But seriously just moving around the world around me, and seeing how the light plays with things.

I go for walks with out any digital device in the morning.  No phone, nothing.  I just look around, think and explore where my mind wants to take me.  I've had some some of my best ideas created from these walks.
