Echoes in the Night

Platinum Award

With 8 kilograms of gear on my back, I climbed Gwanaksan—630 meters of rugged mountain in total darkness. My goal was to capture the Yeouido Fireworks Festival, an event that happens just once a year.

The first spot didn’t feel right. Trusting only my flashlight, I kept moving, searching for a better angle. Then I heard the broadcast: “Highlight fireworks coming up.” I quickly wedged my tripod between the rocks and waited, holding my breath.

And then—fireworks bloomed, filling my frame.
A flower that blossoms for just one second, once a year.
As I see this Photo, I still can hear the echoes in the Night
