The theme for this month is about the earth and your connection with it. More specifically the element that you most connect with.
Water - Air - Earth - Fire
Feel free to take this completely literally, or you might want to play around with metaphor. Trick photography and photoshop trickery are allowed - even encouraged if you can do it well.
Some people are water people - use the water in your image, swimming, drinking, bathing, fishing, canoeing - try your hand at underwater photography.
If you are more connected with the air - you might love to fly - hot air ballooning or have your pilots licence, you might be into climbing tall mountains and meditating in the clouds - try some aerial photography from high places.
Earth - if you are connected with the earth - you love the outdoors, you hike, camp, climb, or study rocks and bones. Try taking photos of yourself embedded in the earth, surrounded by rocks, as one with the physical elements.
Fire - are you someone who enjoys the warmth of an open fire, can’t get enough of fireworks, love to go camping for the opportunity of an open fire - try some photography with flickering flames.
