How do you guys get inspired to go out and shoot?
I'm sitting on the last day of my weekend, and I feel like I should be out there shooting something, but I'm not feeling anything in particular. Nothing in this neighborhood interests me. I've wasted an entire weekend, you know what I mean?

Mate you'll need to travel to be inspired regardless of what medium you're trying to creative in

what style photography most interests you, is it birds and nature?

I feel the same way. I have fun when I'm out shooting, but I have difficulty convincing myself to actually leave my room. I would probably have an easier time if my photographer friends came with me, but they're always busy/not in the city when I want to shoot.
Its not a requirement to shoot everyday

Only do it when you want to do it, you're not trying to make a living off it

Did you ever watch Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window with James Stewart and Grace Kelly?
It's been referred to as the birth of the voyeurism movement. Highly encourage everyone to watch this masterpiece, it's all about a photographer and it's a great thriller.

While you sat at home, I went to the park and took photos of two of the most beautiful girls I have ever seen, and I have seen many. Absolutely stunning and adorable. I just asked their daddies and promised to email them the best shots. Well, actually I shot them first and then asked the daddies.

Oh, you mean little girls?

Yes. I would guess those two were eight and nine.
