This post at Kitten’s Box suggests an exercise for sharpening your photography skills:
Wherever you find yourself, like say your grandmother’s kitchen at Thanksgiving, or waiting for your girlfriend in the parking lot because she made you come pick her up, imagine this. You have one picture left you can take in your lifetime, and you have to take it right where you are. You can take it of anything in your immediate scene – any subject, any angle, any settings, any filters – but this is the last one, and it’s going to sum up your life’s work. What will it be? What can you see that would be worthy?
