Ideas and Inspiration

my previous post suggested some simple ways to get ideas, inspiration and instruction.

now, you might think that "ideas" and "inspiration" are pretty much the same thing.
they aren't:

ideas are creative building blocks.
things like "ooh i could get the model to stand on her head!" (good luck with that, by the way).

on the other hand, inspiration is much harder to get hold of.

to be inspired means to be given a reason to do something.
you might feel inspired to make a picture of a model standing on her head, but that will only happen because you can somehow see a great picture waiting to be created.

ideas are for the mind
inspiration is for the heart

we need both.
go forth and seek them both out, and ... take the shot!
