		<description><![CDATA[A few aggregating websites that are dripping with visual inspiration...]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://ffffound.com/"><img src="http://shalomimages.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/fffffound_small.png" alt="fffffound_small" title="fffffound_small" width="303" height="231" class="alignright size-full wp-image-385" /></a><br />
Odds are, you already know about <a href="http://ffffound.com/">Ffffound</a> (you hip, wired devil, you). But in case you don&#8217;t, here&#8217;s my hat-tip to this veritable treasure-trove of dazzling photographic and illustration inspiration. Nuff said. </p>
<p>Click the logo and go ffffind something that moves you (and if you&#8217;re really inspired, <a href="mailto:info@shalomimages.com">email</a> me about it because I&#8217;m always looking to be inspired &#8211; particularly in unexpected ways, at unexpected times). </p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a similar website that you may not have heard of: <a href="http://enjoysthin.gs/">enjoysthin.gs</a>. [I hadn't heard of it until supercool Twitterer <a href="http://twitter.com/joshuamauldin">Joshua</a> hipped me to it.] I suggest looking deeper than first squint at this website. When I first landed on this site, it didn&#8217;t immediately impress. But when I dug just a little bit, I uncovered a torrent of inspiring images. Another cool thing about this site is that unlike Ffffound, it&#8217;s simple to become an editor, so the UGC mojo can easily flow&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://shalom.enjoysthin.gs/"><img src="http://shalomimages.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/enjoysthings-small.png" alt="enjoysthings-small" title="enjoysthings-small" width="303" height="231" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-429" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://szymon.tumblr.com/"><img src="http://shalomimages.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/inspire-me-now1-300x270.png" alt="inspire-me-now1" title="inspire-me-now1" width="300" height="270" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-395" /></a></p>
<p>My friend <a href="http://www.intistclair.com/">Inti</a> recently hipped me to another blog dripping with creative inspiration called &#8220;<a href="http://szymon.tumblr.com/">Inspire Me Now</a>,&#8221; which feature tons of images that live up to the demand of the title. [The image of the guy pulling the asphalt over Mother Nature is by <a href="http://www.alltelleringet.com/">Erik Johnassen</a>, BTW.]</p>
<p>It truly blows me away how much creativity is going on all around the world. There truly never has been a more exciting time to be a photographer, illustrator, or visual artist, IMHO. </p>
