Bring out your raincoats and umbrellas! We will be looking for images of falling rain, from a few drops to a real downpour, as well as the traces left by rain on streets, cars, plants, etc. Subjects may include drenched passers-by, children playing in a puddle, raindrops on windows revealing a barely visible landscape or streetscape beyond. The possibilities are endless, and may involve everything from the use of wide angle lenses to macrophotography.
On the ground, walls, or on signboards; in streets, stations, subways, shopping centers, museums, hospitals … signs are all around us. They show us the way, tempt us, forbid us…. Make use of the graphic nature of signage with its repetitions, its contradictions, or its connection to the surrounding environment. Obviously signs must be a key element in your composition.
