First post in ages....  So, I'm sitting around and thinking of all the people who have inspired me in the past.  Right now, mostly I get inspired by some youtubers that show the behind the scene stuff....  So I'm wondering who everyone else is being inspired by right now

I am enjoying this utuber's. I know there are a lot of great photographers so it's nice to have some one introduce them.

I've never seen this creator's content before.  I didn't take much time so far to watch,  but the video subjects look intriguing.   Thanks for posting that!

Honestly, no one.

I've hit a wall and never felt so flat or uninspired.

That's some crazy talent right there.  I found the twitter page.  Is that the best way to follow them?

You don't always have to be inspired by anything.  Maybe just take a time out and breathe a minute.  I do that from time to time.

I like  to go back in time to remember why I started.

In the past it was photographers, Brett Weston and shooting with Lucien Clergue.  Now it's two models. One has become an accomplished fee earning photographer, although she's continues to pose for me for the past 17 years.

So many have inspired me during these weird times, but one standout has been Kirby Ferguson, whose work I have admired and supported for years.

Brett Weston is an icon.  Lucien Clergue, often copied but nothing compares to the original.

I'm looking forward to a new muse arriving sometime in the next week for an extended stay. She's a really talented model and photographer, with a stark vision of the universe and her place in it, and is just as enthused about our future collaborations as I am. Should really be fun and creative times.

On a related note, not so much who but what, and the what being NFTs. I posted in the Photography Talk forum about a photographer making serious money selling NFTs.

I know a number of other photographers and artists that are having incredible success selling their work as NFTs and I believe there are many talented artists on MM that could be doing the same.
