Over the past few days I have found myself reflecting on inspiration. What inspires me? What pushes me to try new things? What enables me to become more than I am? The more I think about it - the more I am sure I have no idea. Initially I tried to narrow it down - what circumstances tend to cause my inspiration? Is there a photograph or photographer that always strikes a chord with my inner soul ... possibly. I love the work of David Ziser, Scott Kelby, Joe Bussink, this list goes on and on; however, while most of their work humbles me and inspires me can I say that all of it does? I am reading Joe McNalley's book "The Moment it Clicks" and am quickly beginning to appreciate being inspired by the moment - being aware of what is around you and feeding off of the potential ingredients that could make up a master image. All too often I find myself geting wraped up in gear and technology - I think the art of crafting images gets left behind. How many hours do I spend watching tech reviews and reading about new cameras instead of picking one up and making some images? I'm going to have to think on this some more about this...

Whenever I feel in need of inspiration I check out Scott Stulberg's photos (http://www.asa100.com/). His website was probably one of the first photo sites that made me stop and slow down and look at the images. He has such an amazing style I still find inspiration in it.
