A Blind Man Gropes Along a Jerusalem Wall

Prompt

Isaiah 59: We grope for the wall like the blind. A man of Jerusalem, large and central, gropes along a stone city wall with outstretched hands, his eyes wide and unseeing, stumbling at noonday as if it were night, with other men and women groping behind him; in the street a broken balance scale lies fallen in the dust and a viper slips out of a cracked egg by the gutter. Dust-veiled golden noon light, a mood of confusion and loss. Style: a blend of photo-realism and cinema, like a still from a big-budget film. Bright, rich, saturated, luminous colour, clear daylight or glowing golden light even in dramatic scenes, never murky or muddy, crisp detail, real human faces full of emotion, shallow depth of field, subtle film grain. Simple, uncluttered composition: ONE clear scene from this chapter, with the chapter's main character or characters large, close and central in the upper and middle frame, and a simple background. No montage, no collage, no inset vignettes, no crowd of small figures competing for attention. Historically accurate ancient Near Eastern clothing, architecture and landscape. Keep the bottom quarter of the frame simple and uncluttered (ground, water or sky) so a large chapter number can be set over it. Absolutely no text, no letters, no words, no numbers, no logos, no watermark, no border, no frame.
