Location
This shot was taken in downtown San Antonio Tx, during the "Dia de los Muertos", a Mexican tradition celebrated each year to remember our love ones that have passed on. They are honored with food, Drink and dance. Faces are painted in basic white and finished up in whatever other colorful paints resembling the Dead. I had been photographing this event for years and found out the San Antonio had a large celebration each year.Time
