I'm looking for inspiration...

I'm having a hard time finding new ideas for retouches and montages. Here's a few of my works.

Anyone who visits your site, Patrick, will be inspired in some way, shape or form. I certainly was. You've done some very creative work.

Don't know if these will float your boat, but ya never know:

Isn't there anyone with ideas? 70 people have had a peep - and noboby's responding?

For me, I have peeked but don't quite know how to respond. I like your work alot. Ideas/inspirations is pretty broad thing. Let me ask some questions.

What kind of stuff drives you .... is it the concept that the creates the image or the stuff that you see that creates the concepts.

Does humor/surprise always play a roll for your personal work

Is it point of view (physical) or point of view (perspectives of concept and attitude)

Just brain storming, what kind of things have been interesting you lately - maybe we can come up with some themes to help spark ideas ...

Thanks for the reply.
My method is concept first, then the planning and last the photos. The thrill is to find a solution to the impossible. Humor is very important - my taste might be a bit different, but an image have to be more than just an image.

I don't want to invent the wheel, just add my flavour to old ideas. I've just discovered http://www.worth1000.com - that's the sort of stuff I'm looking for...

Kind regards http://www.patrikland.com

Have you seen the images where there's "hidden" images? You look at the picture and realize that hidden in the tree is an image of something else? The texture is usually where the image is, but the colors are from the tree. Some of these can be quite amusing.

I think I know what you mean. Do you have any examples (links)?

Here's a kid's version of an example:

Here's another that's a little more sophisticated:
