hmm... you know what? it sounds dull but it sounds very fucking useful-- you are right. creativity thrives on limits. when i lived in dc it was easy to find interesting subjects, things i *absolutely* loved and my eyes wanted to eat them. here not so much. but i guess learning to open up to new things is good... which reminds me, i have a friend who lives in a shit town where i just spent 2 years, and he takes the most amazing photos.
i'd like to photograph (some) people, but i think i make them nervous, ha ha.
and thank you for the advice.

Go on instinct, take some pictures of whatever catches your eye.

hm.. maybe i should start photographing nude models-- ha! no, seriously-- not in a pervert way. women are lovely and for some weird reason i associate cities with women. it's as if cities were women, with a personality and physical traits... ok, i'm crazy, i know, but i swear i feel that way. the more i talk the weirder i sound, huh? ha! now that i think about it, there are a few interesting faces i'd like to photograph around here. i'll have to improve my way of talking to people i suppose.
