Behind the Lens - Global Creative Photography Project :: Theme of the week is Opposites.

My advisor asked me to cover for him during his mechanics test. "Sure," I said, "but I don't remember any of this. If they ask me a question I'll have no idea what to say!" He assured me that all I had to do was to say something with utmost confidence, regardless of its truthiness. As I watched over the young'uns, I was reading an essay by David Foster Wallace. He uses so many big words that I had to write them down on the side of a spare exam to look up later. And, while I was pondering some of these words in context, a student sidled up and asked a question. I was in word heaven and he was in physics hell. Voila! Opposites.

(My other idea was to shoot something primarily green and something primarily red and present the color opposites. But I ended up not liking that.)
