PHOTO OF THE MONTH BY GUSTAVO MINAS

Photo of the month for January 2022 by Gustavo Minas, as voted by BME members.

Some words from Gustavo about the photo:

“Long road trips make me bored, but lately, as I'm usually in the passenger's seat, I've been trying to photograph along the road to pass the time, including some elements of the car in the composition. Now and then I also fire the tiny flash which came with my camera, just to see how the pictures come out. This was the case here. I used a long exposure too, and I guess the light from the flash bounced in the mirror and hit Priscila's face. When I first posted it, some folks commented saying that it reminds them of David Lynch's Lost Highway, which is not a bad thing at all.”
