Okay dudes, there are way to many 'gear whore' threads in m/a these days, time for some good ol' inspiration to get that creativity flowing. These are just some of many things/photographers that inspire me on a daily basis, what inspires you?

Ted, he is the man! Got me hooked on film, I owe his video's/teaching so much for helping me improve my work immensely over this past year.



This video and all of his work has probably been the biggest influence on my work and my approach to photography in my entire life. I cannot thank Michelle enough for showing me this. I've probably watched it at least 500 times.

So yeah, post whatever gets you pumped to go shoot photos or film or make music or draw or whatever creative outlet most interests you,

Hmmm, adventure inspiration. I actually have a list on my computer of stuff that makes me stoked to create. In no particular order:

Semi-rad.com (writing)
Adam Haynes Art
A tribute to discomfort (video)
ideasonideas.com (graphic design)
www.erickarjaluoto.com (graphic design, writing, life)

I realize these aren't really inspiration in the traditional sense but they get me stoked to be creative.

Needing inspiration for a narrative/ documentary style action film. Lately i've been watching a lot of skateboarding videos so if anyone has anything like that they could direct me towards, that would be great! Here's one I've been watching recently.
