An art museum never fails to charge may art battery. Always make the kind of pictures that you like to look at. When doing assignments shoot what you know will get the job done first and then do something wild or off-beat to get the ideas flowing. I think new gadgets are for refining output not shaping it. Simplifying - returning to basics may be helpful. When you look at the life's work of notable photographers it is surprising how few the number of memorable pictures remain of the thousands they shot. Don't read photography or art magazines - at least until you are very confident in your work again. AZ Maker of Lookaround panoramic camera. http://www.panoramacamera.us or keyword.com lookaround
