San Diego, California - November 2, 2017: Aztec Dancers at Day of the Dead on the streets of Old Town San Diego.
I shot this photograph at ISO 6400 and with the artificial light coming from a cameraman shooing video to the right of me.
El Dia del Muertos (The Day of the Dead) is a popular celebration throughout Latin America, especially in Mexico.
The Day of the Dead is a Mexican holiday and is celebrated throughout Mexico. Family and friends get together to pray and remember their loved ones who have passed away. This is not a time of mourning, but rather it is a joyful celebration of life, food, friends and family.
The history of the Day of the Dead is a syncretism of Pre-Hispanic and Spanish customs. The celebration takes place on November 1–2, in connection with the Catholic holidays of All Saints' Day (November 1) and All Souls' Day (November 2).
