Picture or Illustration?
There’s so much going on in this picture that you look, and look again, and look more deeply. The edges aren’t quite as sharp as a real photograph….there’s a certain sheen to it that would make you almost certain that it’s actually an illustration from a graphic novel with apocalyptic overtones.
But it is, in fact, a photograph…taken at Nippori station in Tokyo. It’s actually a triple-exposure shot which been processed through Photomatix software, which accounts for much of the texture. Quite spectacular!
