As I'm a little obsessed with creating mandalas from my photographs right now, I thought our August photography theme should be Circles and Spirals!
There is a symbolism in the circle that speaks to us of wholeness and inclusion, of completion and infinity. However, this shape may mean something different to you.
We see the earth, the moon, and the sun as circles. Look for circles and spirals in the world around you, photograph them, and think about what they symbolize for you.
Here are a few ideas: clock faces, wheels, wedding rings, coins. When you start looking for circles you will see them everywhere. The same goes for spirals - they are more intricate than circles, and many complex spirals are found in nature.
So start looking and create your own unique collection of circle and spiral images, and you can even use them to create mandalas, as you can see I did with the photo above!
