The Day of the Children

This past weekend I photographed Xico's (pronounced "sheCO" btw) 30th annual Dia de los Muertos Celebration of Life Festival. You can see them all on our fan page on facebook.

While we celebrate life, remember those who have gone before us and dance with death... the children bring magical innocence to this event.

I Knew Rhianna When...

... she was taking in her culture. Absorbing the gifts from her parents and grandparents... when she took my hand and simply smiled.


I Knew Frida When...

... she was a little girl. So sweet. So intelligent and sensitive. An old soul in a young body. You have much to teach us.
