where and when do you get your best ideas?
early morning Mar 15 06 07:50 pm Link Often in the midst of one project, an idea for another occurs to me. Mar 15 06 08:33 pm Link In bed asleep. Of course, it's still questionable if I've ever had a good idea. lol Mar 15 06 09:52 pm Link Usually while reading and drinking. Or riding and drinking. Mostly when I'm drinking, I guess. -D Mar 15 06 09:54 pm Link D. Brian Nelson wrote: Stop drinking out of the toilet bowl. That is my gig. Mar 15 06 09:58 pm Link I get my best ideas in the bathroom...not when I am actually on the toilet necessarily, but I go in there to smoke my cigarettes too, and sometimes, giving myself that break seems to really get them coming. I cannot tell you how many times i have rushed out of the bathroom to write a whole bunch of metaphorical shit down. Mar 15 06 10:02 pm Link Well, first and foremost, best is a relative term. That my ideas are even good is debatable... As to the question of where and when. Everywhere and anytime! I read a good deal, so many times the photography I do is a visualization of something I read. I also so get ideas from music by visualizing what's happening in the song. Or something I saw around. Or a movie I saw. Anything... Mar 15 06 10:04 pm Link I have had my good Ideas while in the bathroom while brushing my teeth. and while sleeping. Mar 15 06 10:34 pm Link I don't get them. I meet with the model after goin gover a few basics like wardrobe and start shooting. This shit is starting to sound like work Mar 15 06 10:43 pm Link Long distance drives - I can map out 2 or 3 sessions in my head during a run from here to Tulsa. Or, sitting in the staggering jams around LAX on a friday - This usually give me 4-5 hours of quality 5MPH driving time. VintageV Mar 16 06 12:09 am Link Four times of inspiration: 1) In the shower 2) in bed almost asleep 3) driving to class 4) middle of the shoot Cantu Mar 16 06 12:18 am Link When i'm cleaning Mar 16 06 12:18 am Link In the shower...at night...3 or 4 a.m. Mar 16 06 12:18 am Link Driving Mar 16 06 12:20 am Link On the NYC subway (anytime). ON the TOILET (late-night)!!! in the shower also late-night. maybe its mostly late-night becasue thats the only time im FULLY awake! :-D Mar 16 06 12:26 am Link I leave a bowl of milk out at the edge of the forest, the little guys come runnin! Star Mar 16 06 12:27 am Link yeah..me to...must of the time driving arround, but then must of them will get me in trouble so I quicky erase them and the decent ones I forget to write them down...the best ones get stuck in my brain till I finally do them, but again most people think I am crazy and then it falls apart, so I just wait till I see the Model, the location and wardrobe and then my creative juices start flowing then I can't stop until I the model is wore out... then I am back to my little mind thinking on the way home what else I could have done but there was not enough time for it. XP Mar 16 06 12:28 am Link My best ideas come when I really need them. Mother is the necessity of all invention. ... Or is necessity the mother of all invention? Hmm, Whichever...  Mar 16 06 01:15 am Link I get them when looking at other's people work. I'm not a copy cat but I do find other people's idea's inspiring. Mar 16 06 03:09 pm Link I get ideas from art, like anime, funky kinda drawings, then i make it into real photos also from songs, like u know if you picture an image that the song is talking about Mar 16 06 03:18 pm Link Mar 16 06 03:23 pm Link i usually get the best ideas as the model is putting her street clothes back on, and the lights and gear are all packed up. i hate that. Mar 16 06 04:42 pm Link "where and when do you get your best ideas?" Where: My brain. When: When using it.  Mar 16 06 04:49 pm Link UdoR wrote: Haha. You know if a mod says they will get back to you when they sober up, it may be a while....lol@our wonderful members:) Mar 16 06 04:50 pm Link ~Krista~ wrote: Yeah, I saw that one... was too funny... I think Ched dropped that one... LOL Mar 16 06 04:52 pm Link When I am trying to get a woman to sleep with me. Of course thirty seconds afterwards I forget everything I promised and drift off to sleep. Mar 16 06 04:56 pm Link Christopher Bush wrote: LOL! That's funny as hell. Funny 'cause it's true.
