Midnight Motel Pool Country Blues

Static wide shot on an 85mm lens compresses a lone country singer sitting on a motel diving board at midnight, boots dipped in a turquoise pool lit by a buzzing pink neon sign. The camera slowly pushes in as he strums a weathered guitar, rain rings spreading across the water surface. Moody Americana style, teal and magenta reflection, shallow depth of field isolating his weathered hat. Subject detail: soaked denim jeans, silver belt buckle, unlit cigarette, eyes closed while singing. A distant thunderstorm flickers over the desert horizon, briefly silhouetting the figure before the neon reclaims him.
