22: AGD (anti-goth descrimination)

Playing the Other Side, originally uploaded by gingerpig2000.

In our excitement to get on the road we left an area rich in Gothic and entered one where it was almost none existent. Luckily, as we sat waiting for dinner while they dealt with some disaster in the kitchen of our hotel, I spotted this superb silver candelabra. Having a desk to work from, I did some significant editing using Microsoft Paint, including a colour inversion to get the green, which was lucky as the original shot was not at all inspiring.

The message here is that while a total subject may not be what you need, shaving away excess can reveal a number of inner ideas that you had not noticed because the total picture was swamping your ability to analyse. I also composed the following to go with the picture: "Our darker counterpart resides as far away as the other side of our eye, and there are not enough candles in the whole world to illuminate the darker corners of our soul." Here, words are combined with the image, just as the other day I combined a cartoon format, linking concepts so that each helps define your idea.
