Sometimes, it takes something extremely simple to remind you why you started to take photos. Recently, I’ve been really busy with work, and I don’t have a lot of time to pick up a camera (except, of course, for work, which somehow doesn’t quite count).
So it is when I find galleries like this one on Hemmy.net that my interest is re-sparked, and I feel the old familiar itch (no, not my allergy to ammonia… the trigger finger!).
Have you ever come across a photo, or a set of photos that suddenly made you want to dive at your camera and get going again? Post a comment and tell us about it!
My day job, if it can be called that, is being a writer. I've got one book out there so far and it's awesome, so go ahead and buy a copy! It's available from 
In front of you, five hyperactive men with guitars, drums, and microphones. Behind you, five thousand fans. In your hands, a camera... You're going to need more than just a little bit of good luck to pull this one off. That's where this book comes in.
Take a Canon EOS 450D. Attach a Canon 50mm f/1.4 lens. Hit the streets of London. See what happens.

Gave me the inspiration to pluck up the courage, pick up my camera and start snapping street shots.
