Stuck for an idea? Have you tried pictures? With the Internet, finding picture inspirations is really easy. I have used Yahoo search to find pictures of all kinds of things from fairies to steampunk to hobble skirts. Here's a few I clicked on today.
old buildings http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images?_adv_prop=image&fr=fp-yie8-s&va=22+old+buildings There's all types of buildings here, strong buildings and falling down buildings and even the titles under the pictures can provide some great ideas to get you started.
depression era images http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images?_adv_prop=image&fr=fp-yie8-s&sz=all&va=depression+era If you're doing historical fiction this is great place to get a feel for that time period in history. Some of the faces will haunt you, but use those faces to step into a world that has fallen apart.
street people homeless http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images?_adv_prop=image&fr=fp-yie8-s&va=street+people+homeless I love looking at faces to get a feel for a character. You can see fear, contempt, loss, greed, need, nearly every emotion in the world, then you see their setting and all kinds of stories pop into your head.
