Yossarian.
Dollstown Hue.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder n. - an anxiety disorder that can develop after exposure to a terrifying event or ordeal in which grave physical harm occurred or was threatened

----------

First off... LOOK AT THE BOKEH! THEY'RE LITTLE B-25 PLANES! :'D

I worked my ass off for this shot... its still not perfect, but MAN I'm happy!

I had to make the filter 3 times because it was too big... traced and Xacto-ed a goddamn plane photo... and then I spent about 2 hours just looking for a location where the bokeh showed up well. >_>;;;

I made my own filter to make the bokeh appear as planes... bombarding him. See, Yossarian was an air force pilot whose past experiences left him mentally traumatized.... these planes are to symbolize the "bombing" of his mentality and its deterioration over time...
Poor dude...

If you're curious about how I did it, **here's** a photo of my home-made filter... and **here's** the DIY link on how to do it.

My 2nd entry for :iconeating-dust:'s Bokeh theme contest.

PS - Yes.... Yo did, uh.... "break" his arm...

If Homosexuality is a disease, let's all call in queer to work. "Sorry, can't work today. Still queer."

It is an awesome book and an awesome idea :)

I think the arm wrapped up still fits with the end ... It made sense to me, anyway.
