Where and How to Get i-n-s-p-i-r-e-d

I see you have a bad case of photography block.

But don't worry, I have just the thing:

inspiration.

But where can you find this so called "inspiration?"

It can come from things as normal as pencils,

to things as strange as purple, chocolate chip pancakes.

( which by the way, are amazing. )

A lot of times though, when we really need a eureka moment, it just won't show!


Here are a couple ways and places you could try!

tumblr. Of course you could try instagram and google, but for me, the hipster's mind is much more creative than a bunch of people with cameras ya know? Just browse around some pretty pictures and I'm sure you'll find a light-bulb or two.

let your imagination go wild. The first thing that comes to my head when I hear imagination is Alice in Wonderland. ( and Spongebob of course ;D ) Seriously though, she did have quite an imagination; talking flowers, red-painted white roses, and butter that could fly! If you take a crayon for example, you would try to find all sorts of ways to use it, besides coloring. In a flash your imagination will spark.

have fun! Sing weird lyrics in the shower, dance around in your room, or talk to your cat! You'll have fun doing it and realize you are a lot more creative than you thought. But for it to work, it all has to be spontaneous and at the moment, or else the fun will turn into a random rehearsal.

don't think about it. This option is more for people that aren't in a huge rush for inspiration. If you just relax and look at life without pressuring it to squeeze out some ideas, I'm sure they will follow up, one after another.

experiment. Take pictures of random things, ( but don't necessarily post it on instagram, we have plenty of people that do that already... ) take them in different angles, and replace them for different uses! Like turning a tennis racket into a.... car! You'll find connections to your inner sparkle and come up with loads of stuff.

go on an adventure. Without my good friend Kylee, ( aka @teenagedreamer ) I don't think I ever would have been to this point in my photography. I had a serious photography block, and she gave me this exact advice, she told me to go out and do a photoshoot in my backyard., and after that I was a new person. At first I had no idea what I was going to do, but then it all just came to me in a whirl wind.

Now I'm not saying that these work 100% of the time,

but trying them won't hurt!

Tell me how it goes!
