EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Murad Sezer, revellers immerse themselves in the spirit of Thracian Halloween, known as "aeBocuk nightA" as they spook residents in Camlica village near Kesan, Turkey. The image showcases an urban city street with a building's exterior serving as the backdrop for this eerie scene. The photograph cleverly utilizes creative lighting and shadows to create an atmosphere of suspense and mystery. Unrecognizable figures donning ghostly sheets walk leisurely along the street, their silhouettes casting haunting shapes on the wall behind them. One figure even wields an axe, adding a chilling element to this ritualistic celebration. As these revellers roam through the village streets, fear and excitement fill the air. Traditional customs blend seamlessly with contemporary city life, showcasing how culture evolves while retaining its roots. Residents peer out from windows, their faces reflecting both curiosity and trepidation at this otherworldly spectacle unfolding before them. Sezer's skillful composition captures not only a moment frozen in time but also invites viewers to ponder deeper themes such as tradition versus modernity and our fascination with all things supernatural. This thought-provoking image serves as a reminder that even in today's fast-paced world, ancient rituals can still captivate us and ignite our imagination
