You seriously don't get it? That's all the people that died at that place and/or killed by the place.

From Filmsite.org

The closing shot is an extremely long tracking shot into a hallway outside the Gold Room toward one framed photograph - it is in a rectangular grouping of twenty-one black and white framed pictures which freeze moments of time on the wall. 1920s, Fitzgeraldian period music from a dance band plays in the background. The black-and-white image of the picture is from the Overlook's evil time-zone, taken during the hotel's hey-day (1921) at the July 4th Ball - Independence Day. Broadly grinning and waving, a younger-looking Jack is forefront in the picture and dressed in black tie and dinner jacket. He has metaphysically survived within the past and is safely absorbed into the historical scene - 'independent' and reincarnated. Behind him are ghostly revelers all dressed in smart, 1920s formal evening garb. The inscription: "Overlook Hotel / July 4th Ball / 1921."
