Read and Respond: Jump Start your Photography

(1) List your favorite 10 of these suggested ways to get inspired in your photography.
(2) Provide details about how you would go about doing each activity. Imagine that you set out to try each one out and describe what you might do in order to apply the experience to your own photography.

-Go through you CD covers.
I would simply go on my Spotify and look at the cover of CDs on my playlist
-Listen to your favorite music.
Blast some music from the speakers in my room to really get my juices flowing.
 -Read an art magazine.
I would go to Anthropologie because they have the best magazines. I would pick out a few of my favorites and flip through them to get inspired.
-Shoot a gorgeous model. 
I would text one of my pretty friends and set up a backdrop or just walk around and try cool scenery to shoot in.
- See an art show.
There are always art shows going on around town, so I could just go to one that sounds interesting to me to get some cool ideas for my photos.
- Shoot your family.
I would take candid pictures of my family in their daily life to try and get some cool shots of them. I would hopefully be able to get some ideas for other photos off of this. 
- Take on a photo assignment or challenge.
I could do one of the assignments I liked from the class chosen ones to try and test out a few of them. 
- Shoot your favorite food.
Take pictures of my food when I am at a restaurant that serves pretty and unique food. 
- Take a self portrait.
Set a timer on my phone and take simple pictures of myself to try and get some shots or inspiration. 
- Use a prop in an interesting way.
I would get something ordinary, like a flower, and use it in a unique way as too make the pictures outcome a little different, and to get some cool ideas for other photos.
