{Inspiration}

Ever need inspiration?  I do.  Taking photos day in and day out...sometimes I get a creative block and have to look for inspiration elsewhere. 

A few months ago, I came across a blog called Ramblings and Photos by Ashley Sisk.  Ashley Sisk takes some really awesome still-life photos.  I look at her blog daily and am inspired, intrigued and amazed each time I check out what she's done.  Although I am not a still-life photographer (I'd much rather take photos of people), I like to try my hand at different things, but what I've found is that I need to leave the still-life photos to people like Ashley.  She recently took a photo of an apple on a book.  It's so, so pretty.  I loved it so, so much, I wanted to try to take a photo like that.  It didn't turn out like hers.  No where near as cool.  But, here's mine:

And then, I wanted to try another photo using a book.  So, I did this (and I actually kinda love it):

So, once again, it's another random post, but random posts usually mean thing: I'm feeling inspired.  And if you've not seen Ashley's blog yet, I suggest you check it out.  I promise you won't leave disappointed.  I don't know you personally, Ashley, but thanks for the inspiration!  I look forward to looking at your blog again tomorrow (or maybe even tonight, heh!).  Now, off I go to look at my calendar of photo sessions for the week!  Check out my blog throughout the week.  It may or may not consist of things such as a soccer ball, laundromat, tutus and other fun things!  ;)
