I feel the pain. We've had one of the roughest winters ever here in the Seattle area.

While I'm stuck indoors I try to improve on my workflow and post processing skills. I'm currently working with the trial version of Adobe LightRoom which is pretty awesome so far.

I've also read through my camera manual again which sometimes gives me new things to try.

Another thing I've done is to read through a couple of the better photography books again. I always catch something that didn't stick with me the first time through.

I've also recruited my girlfriends collection of figurines (penguins, The Beatles, etc) to practice product and creative shots. That can be a time-consuming process getting it all set up, but hey, at least I'm getting to shoot something.

Another thing I do is look outside at the rain and dark skies and whine. It doesn't really do much, but for some reason sometimes I feel a little better after a little whining.

But, warmer weather and bluer skies are right around the corner. At least it's not November still. :-)
