Day of the Dead 2005

These are some images from Day of the Dead in SanTana in 2005. I've been working on them the last few months and am finally satisfied with a handful of them. Mucio and Josefina organized the event, creating altars for all to enjoy, along with some pan dulce and hot chocolate.

Josefina lies down on the path to her altar. The path is covered in eucalyptus and marigolds and all of us took off our shoes to walk the path to visit an altar decorated with sugar skulls, flowers, corn, photographs and more.

Isabel has a quiet moment at the altar.

Sitting with Mucio. His idea was to bring people together to honor the dead as well as culture.

Enrique plays his guitar, once his father's, in front of the altar he created in his memory.

A gorgeous view of the altar created by Josefina and Mucio.
