Hey ho, it's me again... Inspiration? Basically...I look for the unusual in the usual. I can sit for ages and stare at things most people I know find completely normal, boring and even uninteresting. I see photos everywhere, but most of the time I don't have a camera with me...as I can't do my own printing in B/W anymore it costs too much for me to do this regularly, when I occasionally have money to spare I spend it on photography. I don't know what inspires me - I don't even know if I know what inspiration actually is. Sometimes, I just see things that I HAVE to get photos of. Like today...I had a brilliant photo opportunity but..alas, no camera. A woman was sitting on a bench with a head beside her... You know, one of those plastic ones with fake hair kids play with...it looked so incredibly creepy, the woman was dressed in all black except a bright red stripe on her top, her hair was jet black and she was wearing sunglasses..and this head sitting on the bench right next to her. I had to walk around the block again and hope she was gone when I came back because it just annoyed me so much that I had no camera. It still gets to me!!! Arrghh! Heh... I can relate to what was written about rambling, yes...don't expect me to make sense, because if you don't, at least sometimes there's a slight chance you'll be pleasantly surprised... Aaaaaaaanyway time for a little marshmallow to go to bed. ~M~
