One Year After Tragedy, a Subdued Halloween in Itaewon

In recent days I remember reading at least three other articles about last year’s tragedy in Itaewon, so where exactly does this one sets itself appart?

Well, for starters, this article text consists of three short paragraphs, it gives you the basics of what happened in Itaewon and nothing else, sticking to the absolute bare minimum.

This is probably made in purpose, as the article really shines in another aspect; its photojournalism.

The rest of the article is composed of 15 pictures that really tell you what happened and what changed for this years halloween. While the other articles I read on the subject described really well the situation, this one showed me, through Mr. Chang W. Lee lens I was able to really capture how halloween in the district this year were carried out.

You can see the empty streets of what normally seems like an agitated neighborhood, the huge amount of police officers in an attempt to prevent past mistakes, and the suffering of those who lost someone in last years tragedy.

The use of photography in this article is really impressive and it sparked my interest in Mr. Lee’s work.
