There is conflict going on all around us, but not always in the literal sense that we are familiar with. According to Merriam-Webster: conflict; adj. : competitive or opposing action of incompatibles. In my example, the pencil lead is in 'conflict' with the eraser.
Remember, we are looking at conflict in an 'abstract' way, so it must be limited to inanimate objects. People, and animals may be part of your images and may even play a major role but the actual conflict being depicted must be taking place (or have already taken place) between the objects.
Your mission (should you decide to accept it), is to seek out and capture some 'abstract conflict', no matter how minor it may be. Hey, major conflict is welcome too.
You are welcome to photograph 'staged' conflict, as well as that which might be occurring around you naturally.
I encourage you to use titles since they add to the creativity.
