Take a look at the picture below and make a list of at least 20 words or phrases that come to mind while you're looking at it. Don't limit yourself to things that describe the picture just list anything that pops into your head (so if you look at this picture and think "circus", write it down). Then take those words and put a couple of them together, to see what interesting imagery you can come up with. The great thing about this, is that you can do it for any picture or image that you have around. Then keep a list of all the imagery you come up with in a notebook and when you need some inspiration, you've got a list of imagery to get you started.
