When you've taken lots of shots, done lots of sessions, and start feeling a little like you're in a rut...  what do you do to help you develop some new ideas?  Where do you get your inspiration from?

I normaly go to the other side, I do something I don't do it very much or look for a diferent angle.  For Inspiration I like to research painters and other  visual arts.

I like to give up, get drunk, and then while I'm hurting the next day, I think of ways my life would be better if I worked harder and maybe had done like mom wanted and been a dentist. 
Then I decide that's too much work, so I go back to taking pictures...

Book shopping and getting out of the house...  I'll grab about 3 t0 5 books a month..  Usually just going to work helps alot - I work in one of the largest studios in LA - a few times a day I get out of the office and walk the floors...  Kinda look at how others are solving the same things artistically...  Also I bump alot of ideas off of friends - seems like just talking about creativity fosters it...
