A beautiful subject doesn't automatically mean your picture won’t be dull. LIkewise, a dull or ugly subject, doesn 't mean your picture can’t be beautiful or interesting. This explains how a wilted flower may make a more beautiful picture than one that's at its peak. This is bad advice. “Don't go and look at other great photographers' work”. Idea: Think of a typical subject: consider how it’s usually photographed. Write it down. Now, brainstorm every other way you can think of to photgraph the same subject. Reject nothing. Flowers: Conventional: front on in full bloom, with varying dof; a field of flowers; a fresh bouquet, a landscape with foreground flower. Unconventional - a dead or wilting flower; plastic flowers at a cemetary; traffic accident memorials; the back side of a flower; a still life with flowers; flowers with varying degrees of blur, a trodden flower. What else? Apart from that, i agree that one needs to get out there and do stuff.

my "rut" is lined with overworked grey cube walls. i've thought of/photographed all kinds of crap in that place... the only thing that i can now "see" worthy of taking a snap, are flowers on co-workers desks. so, weekends are what i crave. ShangriLa; your ideas have me thinking. =c) thanks for the comments. M
