Lost For Words ...

For this week's Sunday Challenge , which was entitled The Writing's On The Wall . Although it can mean that there are clear signs that something will fail or no longer exist, I decided early on to go for the phrase in it's most literal sense. However, I only had an hour spare last week to wander around Northallerton looking for something to shoot and despite going up just about every alley and ginnel l could find there was a real absence of anything suitable. In fact, there was very little graffiti and most of what there was I decided might be, how can I put it, inappropriate for the challenge. So in the end, the best I could come up with was this close-up shot of something sprayed onto an old brick wall after all nobody said you needed to be able to read the writing. I liked the colour of the paint and the bricks lent themselves to some strong processing to bring out the colours and contrasts like I've tried to do here. Not great, but the best I could do this week. I wasn't even going to post it, but have decided at the last minute that something is better than nothing ... so, here it is!
