Need a good dose of inspiration? Look at as much work by other photographers as you can. When I started out, the only way I could do that was in the library since I hadn't heard of the internet yet. I started at the beginning of the photo section and took out every book one-by-one until I had gone through everything they had.
Now, you can do that from home with the internet. (I can't imagine life without it anymore) There are many sites out there to instruct and inspire and here's one I just discovered thanks to The National Press Photographers Association (NPPA):
It's a documentary photography blog by Geoffrey Hiller called Verve Photo. In it he profiles NPPA member photojournalists and their work. It's a great opportunity to see that there is still quality work being done in spite of the problems facing our industry today.
