PREVIEW: Canon’s Idea App

As a photography enthusiast, I marvel at what it takes to get a great picture. But more important than equipment or lighting (or even a good-looking, leggy subject) is plain old inspiration. So to help photographers who are stuck in that dreaded creative block, Canon is developing the free Idea Mine app.
But how do you make an app for inspiration? Simple, really. The app asks you to fill in information like locale, mood, and subject and then spits out a nifty little graphic that’s supposed to get your gears turning. It’s a clear but potentially powerful way to jump-start a project.
The app isn’t ready for the market yet, but is supposed to be by the holidays. In the meantime, tell us how you get inspired for creative work via our Facebook, Twitter or drop a comment below.
