Monstrous Encounter

23 Apr 2022 2 109
Reports of Big Foot and Sasquatch have never seemed credible to me . . . that is, until now. I have become a believer since that fateful day several months ago when I was strolling through the thick woods in remote parklands near my home. At a curve in the path I came face to face with the hairy monster. Although, the encounter left me shaken, I had enough presence to push the shutter button of the camera that I was carrying, recording this revealing photo. I have avoided showing anyone the photographic evidence of this rumored mythical creature lest I become the laughing stock of the scientific community. Yet, every waking moment I think about the abrupt meeting that I had with the beast. I have finally decided that the world needs to know. Stay tuned for the publication of my findings soon. This photo was taken by a Kowa/SIX medium format film camera with a KOWA 1:3.5/55mm lens and Kowa L1A ø67 filter using Fuji 160NS film, the negative scanned by an Epson Perfection V600 and digitally rendered with Photoshop.
