Look up, look down. You might find something that inspires you. Too many photos are taken at eye level.

Basking in the glow of their cell phones. Turn around and see a beautiful sunset.

Inspired by Elliott Erwitt
Elliott Erwitt has such great humor in some of his photos. Really a master of the Leica camera. Photo was taken in La Jolla, CA. Must have taken 20 photos in a two block stretch.
Discarded sofa
Very hot day. Why are these things rarely at the proper angle for the sun? I actually find a lot of abandoned furniture in the desert.

Skateboarder
This is what I see when I watch skateboarding. The high shutter speed stopping motion does nothing for me.

Water Fountain in B & W
Ok it's the water not the fountain. Backlit water is one of my favorite subjects. I also like the random nature of the drops.

The New Yorker magazine and Leica
Very timely article about Leica at a turning point. A Critic at Large. Candid Camera, by Anthony Lane.
There have been Leica cameras since 1925, when the Leica I was introduced at a trade fair in Leipzig. From then on, as the camera has evolved over eight decades, generations of users have turned to it in their hour of need, or their millisecond of inspiration. Aleksandr Rodchenko, André Kertész, Walker Evans, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Capa, Robert Frank, William Klein, Garry Winogrand, Lee Friedlander, and Sebastião Salgado: these are some of the major-league names that are associated with the Leica brand—or, in the case of Cartier-Bresson, stuck to it with everlasting glue.
An early Leica ad.

Shooting when the light is bad gives some of the most satisfying images.
