“Take an extremely chaotic, poorly composed, spontaneous iPhone selfie — grainy, with aggressive lens smudges, erratic motion blur, uneven focus, awkward framing, and fish-eye distortion. Captured in the middle of New York City during a torrential downpour. The subject is a terrified, Photo Reference (Don’t change the face) in a blue baseball cap with a bold white star patch on the forehead. His face is twisted in pure horror, eyes wide, mouth open, as he clumsily photographs himself. The framing cuts off part of his head and fingers intrude into the lens corner. Behind him, a gigantic Tyrannosaurus rex, towering like Godzilla from a 90s disaster movie, charges through Times Square. Its jaws are wide open, saliva flying, teeth glistening. Yellow NYC taxis scatter below, crowds of people run in panic, blurred from frantic motion. The scene is tilted (Dutch angle) and messy, as if captured mid-sprint. Harsh reflections from wet asphalt, neon city lights, and rain streaks across the smudged lens. The atmosphere is terrifying and absurd, raw and hyper-realistic — a viral, once-in-a-lifetime disaster photo, horrifyingly real yet chaotic.”
