Inspiration

Since I missed the class this was assigned in I'm not sure if we're supposed to say who inspires us or what inspires us.
As far as what inspires me... I'd say a little bit of everything. I find the most inspiration when I'm walking around, people watching, or driving around. Since I began taking photography a couple years ago my eye is always searching for interesting compositions or pleasing things, I am always thinking about my next photo. So everything around me inspires me, the people I see, the places I go and the things I come across. Knowing this, I spend a lot of time researching different places and cultures and have cultivated a thirst to travel and photograph foreign people, places and things. When I look at a picture many questions come to mind, I always want to know more. I think that is why many documentary photographers really catch my attention. Right now I really enjoy Mary Calvert's documentary style work.
I am inspired and greatly admire the work of Elliott Erwitt, Sally Mann and Annie Leibovitz.
