Here's a link to a local Plein Air painter that I discovered that is on a year long quest of painting a local creek each week for a year: http://www.donaldneff.com/creeks.html That spurred me into breaking out the typos and scouting out the local creeks and waterways for subject material.

Thanks for the link to this book! I just ordered it, I need a kick in the ass.
A more general book on the same theme that I am currently reading is "Creative Block" by Danielle Krysa. It consists of "advice and projects from 50 successful artists." Along with their interviews, each gives one project they recommend for getting "unstuck." The only downside is that the few artists who are identified as photographers are really illustrators, so no one in the collection is as constrained by what is actually in front of them as most of us are.
Was given this for my [64th]birthday on Monday by my [art teacher] daughter- haven't even looked yet but will report back..........................

When I want to keep things fresh...... Tupperware, or a Ziploc bag.
