raw unedited candid amateur photo, snapshot aesthetic, soft flash point-and-shoot feel, uneven exposure, slight grain. inside a dim cave, several Neanderthals gather around a beige 1990s PC tower and bulky CRT monitor set on uneven stones. they have wide faces with heavy brow ridges, deep-set eyes, broad flat noses, and strong jaws. tangled coarse hair hangs around their shoulders, and their skin looks rough, smudged with dirt and charcoal dust. their bodies are stocky and muscular, wearing loose animal hides or showing dense body hair. thick fingers clumsily grip a yellowed ball-mouse while another taps the old keyboard. the CRT monitor displays MS Paint open with crude digital cave art: shaky animal outlines, red handprints, and simple hunting figures. behind them, a small bonfire burns on a ring of stones, giving off warm flickering orange light that mixes awkwardly with the harsh flash from the cheap camera. faint smoke drifts upward toward the cave ceiling. the firelight casts moving shadows on the uneven rock walls covered in charcoal drawings. tangled cords run across the dirt floor to a rough improvised metal generator. the picture feels slightly crooked, grainy, and accidental, as if snapped quickly without framing on a low-end disposable camera.
