Some of you may have noticed that my submissions for new photos has slowed to a trickle consisting of my monthly Full Moon Project. I think that largely has to do with my desire to photograph something different, but I lack ideas for things to photograph. Most of my photography consists of outdoor shots, landscapes and buildings and the like. But I want to try and take something new; small objects, posed props, macro, abstract photos, models...things of that sort. But I'm badly hurting for ideas. I also want to try new techniques for polishing a photo while still retaining the original feel. Different uses of contrast or filters in Photoshop, things like that.

If anyone has any ideas for things to photograph, let me know. And if any photographers want to drop a tip on how to make my photos look more professional and/or artistic, don't hesitate to give me pointers.

Today's Vin Diesel Fact

"In 2006, Vin Diesel will star and direct the film 'Hannibal', about Hannibal Barca, the Carthaginian General who led an elephant-riding army across the alps to attack Rome in the 3rd century BC. The film is actually footage taken when Vin Diesel led the army himself hundreds of years ago, with the intent of releasing it as a film as soon as Earth technology caught up with his superior, home-made equipment."

The poet ranks far below the painter in the representation of visible things, and far below the musician in that of invisibe things.
