Jungle City Glitch
·
📷 1/10 sec at f/6,3, ISO 800, 90 mm standard 24-50mm
A head-and-shoulders portrait of a man with a beard and grey hair, wearing a bold yellow and orange camouflage shirt patterned with buildings and bamboo. He looks directly at the viewer with a inscrutable expression. The background is a curtained scene of green foliage and structures. — Still waiting for the Safari Bus, a strange red halo painted his face as he tried to recall where the jeep was parked in this neon jungle. He wore the world on his back, stitched into a shirt of urban decay and forgotten gardens, while the forest behind him bled red and green like a failed transmission.
