A Positive Negative

I was working on some graphics today and realized something I'm totally excited about. If you already know this, it's cool, right? I was staring at a photo, trying to think what I could do with it. I closed my eyes to think and saw the image in my mind's eye in negative.
Negative images are always a little creepy. They're great, and I can stare at them forever, but it's the creepiness factor that gives them their appeal. I stared, with my mind's eye - which is really just some type of retinal burning of the image I'd guess - until it faded away. Then, I remembered that Jesus test. It's in a lot of books about eyes or science or something. I've come across it a few times. You see it a lot with that 'is it a vase, or two people facing each other?' image. You stare at Jesus, close your eyes, and Jesus appears to you in your mind's eye.
So, I thought, if staring at a portrait created a negative image....
I changed the image on my screen to a negative. I stared at it for a few seconds and shut my eyes. There it was! The real image! I could almost make out the colours. Have I mentioned I'm easily amused?

I'm listening to David Gray's White Ladder album. I can't let this go. If I don't have the CD nearby, I feel like I'm missing something.

"Where are my keys? Here. Where's my checkbook? Right here. Where's my David Gray???"

Somehow, it's become a security blanket for me. My most favourite part is that Babylon is on the album twice.
When I used to make cassettes of albums/CD's for my car, I always recorded my favourite song again at the end of the tape. Babylon is recorded twice, with some variance, on White Ladder. I got the CD for Babylon, but my favourite song changes daily. I highly recommend this album.
Here's a karaoke version of one of his songs for you:
