Light Bulb No. 1

    I was playing around with GIMP today and I found a stock photo of a light bulb at stock.xchng. I tried doing things that are beyond my comprehension in a tutorial and ended up with this—it doesn't look anything like it's supposed to. This is the duotone version.

    Update 1: This image was used to accompany an article by Michael Graham Richard (Gatineau, Canada) titled, Number of the Day: 20% of Total World Electricity Production, on April 9, 2009.

    Update 2: This image was used to accompany an article by Jill Cowan titled, Light Bulb! ASUC Can Has Good Idea?, on November 15, 2009.

      Pete Zarria — Thanks. What other image would go with this?

      I'm not sure. Its your concept...;-} Maybe Einstein, the sun, pennies, psychedelic? A hogan, there's a contrast. Horse & buggy, candle, I'm just starting to percolate.

      Skate keys, bicycles, A Harley, Model T in the center... Church, famous grave, something really stupid like a fire extinguisher & sign pointing the wrong way. A new born...
