The execution room at Seodaemun Prison. The preferred method of execution by the Japanese during the occupation: hanging.
Seodaemun Prison was built during the Japanese occupation (1910-1945) to keep Korean "dissidents" -- Koreans who rather valued national independence -- in line. The conditions were pretty barbarous, to say the least, and included torture along with other inhumane treatment.
Seoul, South Korea.

Summers & Koontz Executions
On 22 May 1865, after the Civil War ended. Capt. George W. Summers, Sgt. I. Newton Koontz, and two other armed veterans of Co. D, 7th Virginia Cavalry, robbed six Federal
cavalrymen of their horses near Woodstock. The horses were returned the next day to the 192d Ohio Volunteer Infantry at Rude’s Hill. Despite assurances that all was forgiven, Lt. Col. Cyrus Hussy, temporarily commanding the 192nd, later ordered the men arrested. The others escaped, but Summers and Koontz were shot without trial here on 27 June. Thirty years later, Capt. Thomas J. Adams and friends erected the nearby monument to commemorate their deaths.
On March 16 2018, Brookings Economic Studies’ Center on Regulation and Markets hosted a discussion on how to create a smarter, more efficient approach to infrastructure.

This week I experimented with long exposures. This was kind of fun considering I’ve been wanting a reason to get out of the house every day during this Corona. The exposures that I used were anywhere between quarter of a second all the way to eight seconds. Collectively I went to multiple different places to take these shots, and after all of that I noticed that there was something on the lens in some of the pictures, which sucks but they still turned out okay. Another thing I thought was not as bad as it was is the lens flare on the bridge picture with the guy walking around. Overall, I liked the general idea of some of these photos, but in some sense this week I feel like I had poor execution. Overall, I think that some of the things I should have thought about more during this was the angle of the sun in comparison of where I was shooting. There were a couple of different techniques that I used for this, one being camera in place, which was most of the pictures, and moving the camera along the scene, which was the barn and driveway picture. Overall, I thought that the easier one with more control was the still camera approach. It was kind of difficult doing the moving vehicle shots, just because you do not know what the shot is going to look like until its too late. I achieved these shots by sitting in the passenger seat of our truck with a camera mount attached to the window and shooting when we passed by things for around 30 minutes.
