Nightmare
There are all sorts of interesting and colorful caricatures out there. And there are some just plain weird ones. When we have the opportunity to capture most of them it is in environments that may not be conducive to a good or interesting photograph. But we can’t pass up the chance to get what we can.
This is truly an interesting character. Yes this is a human and not a statue from someone’s wrapped imagination. The photographer has used computer filters to exaggerate the weirdness of the subject and in so doing creating a creature we would only expect to see in an extremely distorted nightmare.
I like the three dimensional effects this illustration creates which increases the imaginary threat this haunting image presents. It would have been nice if we could have eliminated the street scene background, the white in the lower left hand corner is distracting.
Please, don’t hang this photograph on the wall of any room in my house! I want to sleep at night.
