I spend a lot of time on flickr just looking at other peoples photos. some inspire me, some teach me and some clearly show me what not to do.
One thing always impresses me is when I find a young person going out shooting and trying new things ... sometimes they work, sometimes they don't, but that's not the point, the point is that they are trying new things and expanding their creativity and I applaud them for that.

Get out and try new stuff ... much of it won't work but when something does work you have that amazing feeling of creating something new.
