Cromagnon Memorial




In a corner of Plaza Miserere is a memorial to the 194 people killed in the Cromagnon fire on Dec. 30, 2004. The scattered shoes of the people leaving the scene that night became a symbol for those who lost their life.

This inspired me to read the entire story. That made the photos even more powerful.

As photographs alone, I love these three. The first with it's almost 3D paintings is great. The hanging sneakers would have been great photos even without the story, but with it.. amazing.

Wondering... is there a reason you don't allow the name/url combination for commenting?
