These are some great ideas to get you started!!!! Think about the lighting!! Turn your camera for some vertical shots!! Play with angles!! Get down low...Get up high...change your position when taking the photos!!! Take more than one photo a day. Get in close!!! Go outside!! Take your camera with you. Stop, look and listen...be aware of the world around you.
But most of all...HAVE FUN WITH IT!!!
You can add to the list...interpret it your way!!!
My goal is to get you to document stuff!
