Idea Source: "What Are You Looking At?", by Will Gompertz

As I get deeper into my journey of becoming a self-taught photographer (not to be confused with ready-made), I want to know more. Ideas and inspiration can come from anywhere... I went to a Kanye West concert last week and ended up leaving with three new notes in my "Photo Series Ideas" page of the iPhone notes app. But, what the fuck do they mean? Relevant to the rest of the art world, do they mean anything? Does it even fucking mattter?

I'd like to be confident in my answer to these questions so I can pursue... no questions asked (or well answered if any.)

I present myself; The Sponge. 

First stop is Will Gompertz's "WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?". My learnings, inspirations and realizations from this book will be documented here, for myself to look back to, and for others to use should they happen to google anything relevant to what I find.

What the book is about, and why I chose it:

"WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?" offers a high-lighted and light way to read about art history, but with an emphasis on what had the most impact, from whom and why. My hopes and expectations are to soak in what helped shape the art world into what it is today so I can be inspired to help shape it into tomorrow.
