First sunrise of the year on Korea's east coast: seen from behind a dense crowd standing on a sandy beach, hundreds of people in padded winter coats and knit hats, many holding phones up in the air toward the sea, all facing the horizon. The sun has just broken the surface of the sea as a molten red-orange half disc, its light laid as a long golden path across the waves. The crowd fills the bottom third of the frame as dark silhouettes, the sky fills the top two thirds in orange fading to deep blue. Cold clear air. Photorealistic. No text, no letters, no logos.
