... or anything else, for that matter. Which means, bring a camera (a real camera) with you EVERYWHERE. Look at your surroundings and see things as you would through the lens of a camera. If this is difficult for you, just take pictures of random stuff. Try different angles, heights and dimensions. Use wide-angle lenses and telephoto lenses. Experiment with your photography and look for things that often get forgotten. I have a penchant for vintage and abandoned machinery and buildings. Some of this stuff is half-buried in bushes, mud or moss. It may be considered ugly by many people, especially in its context but when isolated from the surroundings it becomes a work of art. Your photography work may never be worthy of glossy magazine-type material or stock photography, but perhaps it means something to you. If nothing else, follow your passion for you, the photographer... because those flowers will wilt, old buildings get bulldozed over and old cars get towed off and recycled.
