It is a good idea to get a little distance from your daily routine every now and then to "clear" your head again - for fresh ideas and also to recharge your batteries. If you ever have a creative block, breaking out of everyday life, the familiar, often helps. "Breaking the habit" - you could put it nicely in English. But that doesn't mean the Linkin Park song. Your own habits have their rightful place - but the "new" is still an inspiration for the mind. New impressions, new experiences . . . sharpen your sensory perception: with the camera as your companion, you immediately change your perspective, because you are literally looking for motifs that are worth capturing.

Of course, you can do this “on the side” with your smartphone, but the conscious decision to go looking for a subject changes the flow of things.
