I think this is great advice, Philippe. I do something similar. So, for 
example, I attended a landscape workshop earlier this year with my 
Hasselblad--quite a change from the stuff I normally photograph, both in 
terms of subject and equipment. Besides that, I always carry the camera 
with me, and inevitably, something worth photographing always occurs.

I am also fortunate to be living near Amsterdam, and if I drive in there 
on a Sunday afternoon, I will invariable find *something* to 
photograph--the city is so rich in visual material.

And last but not least, looking at other people's photographs can be 
inspiring, whether it is the many excellent postings here or an 
exhibition in a gallery.
