Since I mainly like to dabble in monochrome work, contrast for me is the gravy train - second only to composition.

So, let’s investigate together just what contrast is, and how we can bring it out in our work. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5;
