Get some inspiration:  http://www.funzug.com/index.php/technology/an-idea-can-change-your-life.html

Once in my photography class our teacher told us to challenge ourselves.  Even if it failed, he would be fine with it because we were thinking outside of the box.  Well, I decided to try and recreate a famous shoot of fruits and vegetables being sensual.  You know, set up a soft backdrop with soft, low lighting.  I was pretty much in a dark room with one little light on.  They turned out wonderfully though.  When I was developing them everyone was talking about it.  And at class, when my teacher said, "Who should we talk about first?  Who do you all think has made a huge stride?  Thought outside the box?" They all suggested me.  That was a good day.

Man Ray

I am a HUGE fan of the naked body.  ;)  Fat, thin, short, one leg, I don't care, I love it.  I think it's gorgeous and incredibly eye opening to what a person is really like.  Man ray is a photographer who I learned about in school and fallen in love with.  I love black and white photography and his is stunning.  He was also known for being a surrealist.  He felt that the connection between dreams and reality was extremely important and showed a lot of that in his work.





If you're into photography I strongly suggest you take a look at Man Ray and learn a bit more about him. It is very interesting.
