Congrats to everyone who participated in the article in Artful Blogging - looks like a great issue - with lots of SPC favourites included as well as those whose pics were featured in the article. Participants whose images were featured in the mag include Jeremy Stockwell, Navylane , the momster, pumkin little, nosumo, Nicole from Sometimes everything girl and intrepid flame. Great pics guys keep up the outstanding work…
So officially this is week five of the July challenge - being a tuesday and all - but so many of you are doing August already that I go totally inspired to do a mixed post.

Pumpkin little
I just love this image - I can almost feel the mud between my toes - ooh squishy… Definitely an earth image.

congrats also to Ornamental with her own article in the mag. This image is for Patterns and is all about memory and family history.

Love this patterns image by Nosumo.

Jeremy’s patterns.

And congrats also to Misty Mawn who has her own article in the mag as well. This image is for patterns but it could be for elements as well.

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.
some examples of water portraiture: family portrait :: underwater child :: underwater self portrait :: waterfall portrait :: underwater self portrait :: portrait in water :: bath ::
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.
Some examples: self portrait above head :: check out this guy who has a camera rig attached to a kite :: check out this guy who takes self portraits as if flying :: flying :: aerial view of self ::
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.
Examples :: middle of nowhere :: between land and sky :: hand and earth :: of the earth :: tree hugging :: on the earth :: in the earth ::
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.
Examples :: fire :: blowing smoke :: birthday candles :: burning :: on fire ::
