I recently started a idea/inspirations journal.
& it's one of the best ideas I've had in a long time
I think this all really started by taking Photo Critique where we look deep into photographs by describing, analyzing, and interpreting them. Sometimes I'll get these really great ideas for shoots but never document them which makes me forget about them later on.
I take photos from magazines & cut & paste them into an adorable notebook I got from Urban Outfitters.

I like to write myself notes of why I like the photos & how I can use these ideas in my future photographs.
It's like pinterest...but more personal. It's so much better for me because holding the photo I feel like I can critique it better in my mind.
It's a great way to keep your creative gears moving & always something to look back on if you're stuck.
I think anyone who is in the creative field should have their own ideas/inspirations journal. Whether it's photography, design, culinary, writing... anything.
I actually have one full of things that inspire me to sketch and paint. I always leave the back of the page blank so I can put my own picture that was the birth of that inspiration(s).
