Contrasts and Contradictions

Yesterday I posted about the conflicts of cost vs. price in this business we call life. It’s a super charged issue. For me. But also for many of us.

My Steemit sister @countrygirl pointed out that it revealed many of my contrasts and contradictions. She’s right, of course. But let’s face it: isn’t that the essence of all art?

Today I’m sharing some heavily contrasted street portraits. Without the visual extremes and contradictions, these couldn’t exist. So as much as the rollercoaster exhausts and confounds me, the artist in me must thank the Flying Spaghetti Monster for all the fertile paradoxes which fuel my muse.
