Go take a walk, get on the bike, or clip into a pair of skis. Don&#8217;t even take your camera. Just take your empty, tired brain, and I promise you, by the end of your little excursion, it will be full of new ideas and creative inspiration again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes you sit there at your desk, mousing and pounding away on the keyboard, writing blog posts, editing images, surfing the web, tweeting, reading Facebook and generally racking your brain about how to improve your photography.
