Salvation is your Destination Recipe

 This picture was taken in a mosque in El Moez Street, we -me, Di and another photographer friend of ours Freska- had a photography tour there and had a blast, this pic was one of the great results of this tour.
 While processing it I was basically listening to Radiohead's The Gloaming (Listen?) which gives a great sense of something like there is somebody on a long passage and he's hypnotizingly being sucked to the other side.


 Anyway, I've used a really simple editing program which my dad got with his scanner or his photo printer I cant remember, the photo was originally scaled as a portrait by the meaning it's tall and narrow :) .. but thanks to my brand new obsession with the 500x500 scale I did not crop it, but instead I added about 3 cm from the left side and roughly 1 cm from the right side, and with the stamp brush repeated some selected pits on the empty sides, regarding the Colour: I made it B&W and honestly I cant remember how I made the degradation of blue & brown/green, regarding model looking rather like sketch I've only used the burn and sharp brushes.

Another obsession of mine is attaching each pic with a musical piece, and this one in my opinion is best observed with Muse's Nishe :
