Contrast!

It is only 5th November and already I have had one photograph sent to me as well as comments from a few others that they have various ideas in mind.
The topic of "Contrast" should provide quite a wide range of different interpretations.  The hard bit for you all will be choosing only one!

Here is a non-photographic example of "contrast" to inspire you.  It is a poem by Brian Bilston that I have shown a few of you in the past.

Please don't get annoyed as you read it - just persevere with it. Once you have read it then just read it again, but this time from back to front - this will give you the contrast!

Refugees

by Brian Bilston

They have no need of our help

So do not tell me

These haggard faces could belong to you or me

Should life have dealt a different hand

We need to see them for who they really are

Chancers and scroungers

Layabouts and loungers

With bombs up their sleeves

Cut-throats and thieves

They are not

Welcome here

We should make them

Go back to where they came from

They cannot

Share our food

Share our homes

Share our countries

Instead let us

Build a wall to keep them out

It is not okay to say

These are people just like us

A place should only belong to those who are born there

Do not be so stupid to think that

The world can be looked at another way
