EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting scene of paper lanterns gracefully floating on Lake Hibiscus during the Forest Hills Lantern Festival. Held at the Forest Hills Cemetery in Boston's Jamaica Plain neighborhood, this traditional festival draws inspiration from similar rituals practiced across Asia. The half-light setting adds a touch of mystery to the picture, as unrecognizable figures celebrate and pay homage to their departed loved ones through inscriptions on these delicate lanterns. The movement captured in the image creates a sense of tranquility and serenity, reflecting the peaceful atmosphere of this ritualistic event. The creative use of illumination showcases how these lanterns beautifully light up the night sky, casting an ethereal glow upon both nature and people alike. With ample copy space surrounding them, each lantern stands out individually while also contributing to a picturesque overall composition. The silhouette of trees against the twilight sky further enhances the atmospheric ambiance, creating a mesmerizing backdrop for this heartfelt celebration.
