Default Re: How to get photo ideas.

My father-in law recently gave me 4 photography magazines he found from back in the fifties. I found a lot of great ideas for classic Hollywood portraits. Now it's just a matter of making the ideas happen.
I also joined a local photography club last year that has a monthly creativity challenge along with a regular print challenge. You get a word or phrase and have to interpret it through a print, then you get to compare you take on it to everyone else. The other good part about this club is that you don't have people judge your prints with a number score or just announce a winner. We have a different pro come in every month (usually a teacher or well established local photog) critique each print and judge winners and runners-up.
