How do you choose your subject.

Some great comments above...

Here's one from the Bible, Deuteronomy, I think:
"And he raised his eyes and saw."...
Here's two ideas:
- Look at what's available in your town with a fresh vision.
- You'll use up less gas on the highways near your town looking for the new.
Good luck,
Mike
 
This is one of those questions we all ask ourselves, and spend our lives answering. I don't think I'll ever be able to say with certainty what my subjects are. I can't count the times I've realized, reviewing my work, that when I thought I was photographing one thing, I was really photographing something else, entirely. Sometimes instinct overpowers reason, or even creativity, and we don't know it until some time later. I try to relax, remain alert, and resist any impulse to project my preconceived ideas on the world I see, or those with whom I share it. Kind of the polar oposite of previsualization. Good luck, and just keep shooting.
