Scott Mc Kiernan presents zReportage.com Issue #913 Story of the Week: Published TUESDAY, November 7, 2023: ‘La Catrinas of Japan’ Pictures by award winning ZUMA Press photographer Rodrigo Reyes Marin and Graphic artist Nahomi Moriyama who collaborated for the Catrinas of Japan photographic project: The images offer the concept of ‘death and the beyond’ from the perspective of Mexican traditions combined with elements of Japanese culture, bringing the Day of the Dead celebration to Japan through one of its most iconic characters, La Catrina. The story of La Catrina began as a social critique and satirical portrayal of bourgeois society during the late 19th-century dictatorship, is now the iconic symbol of the Day of the Dead. While the holiday is often associated with Mexico, today it is celebrated all around the world. 2023 marks the 135th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Mexico and Japan. Welcome to ‘La Catrinas of Japan’

Scott Mc Kiernan presents zReportage.com Issue #912 Story of the Week: Published TUESDAY, October 31, 2023: ‘Maine MANHUNT’ Pictures by 4 time Pulitzer Prize winning ZUMA Press photographer Carol Guzy: The U.S. has had at least 565 mass shootings so far this year, according to the Gun Violence Archive. This averages out to almost two mass shootings a day. Mass shootings are defined as an incident in which four or more victims are shot or killed. Following the deadliest mass shooting in Maine’s history and 2 day manhunt, the suspected gunman, Robert Card, was found dead in a trailer at a recycling center in Lisbon Falls after an apparent suicide. The gunman had opened fire at a bowling alley in Lewiston, killing 18. Two counties were under a ‘shelter-in-place order for 48 hrs while the gunman was at-large. Maine has a strong hunting tradition and high rates of gun ownership. It has also long had one of the lowest murder rates in the country. However the state has few gun safety laws, and does not require background checks on gun sales. According to Everytown, a gun violence research center, 89% of all gun deaths in Maine are cases of suicide. The Lewiston gun-mans motives remain unknown. The U.S. is currently on pace to experience 700 mass shootings in 2023. Welcome to: ‘Maine MANHUNT’
