Occasionally things can happen in a sequence whereby a meeting of matter occurs one might not have predicted, so simple and valuable, that we wish we'd designed that ourselves!
Fahim posted a B&W harshly-framed street picture in his wonderful collection of colored landscape pictures.
Fahim Mohammed: "Untitled"
Street Scene, Scotland
Mark was moved by this snap far beyond, "Nice picture!":
Well, being rather interfering, I asked if I could place this very different B&W image with his street pictures. That I did and thought no more of it, except I was pleased as Punch to see the street collection growing nicely.
To my our surprise Fahim quickly added yet another equally remarkable street picture, this time with no border; and I missed it.
Fahim Mohammed: "Untitled #2"
Street Scene
The contrast between the two street pictures caught Mark's eye and he quipped:
"Counterpoint", I thought to myself; "I wish I'd thought of that!" as it's obvious now that not only is Fahim's work maturing, but we also now have a valuable, stimulating and fun concept to explore further, "Point & Counterpoint!"
So here's the challenge: let's look through our own work for :
Images that are related but present opposing, complementary or reflective views of a person or subject.
Thanks Fahim and Mike and happy hunting!

Fahim,
Scotland is not a place - its a state of mind!

Fahim,
This last.
What a great counterpoint!
