Any Day of the Dead photographers/artists?
No, not zombie stuff...Dia de los Muertos, the Mexican holiday (Nov 1 & 2) to remember and pay respect to those who have passed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day_of_the_Dead I'm looking to find a variety of artists who have created their own tribute to the dead...either in the traditional calavera/floral style of the holiday or their own interpretation.  ( original uncensored version here ) Post photos or links! Aug 30 08 11:41 am Link oohh, *watching thread* I Love Day of the Dead. I have a tattoo on my upper arm.  Aug 30 08 11:45 am Link I do too...and I know I've seen such images here on MM, but can't recall who or where...(they are hiding)... Aug 30 08 12:02 pm Link Scary-Ellen wrote: Up a photo here!

I'm still waiting for the only model that knows what I want to tell me she's ready to shoot. *sits in the corner and cries* Sep 06 08 10:52 pm Link Dia de los Muertos is one of my favorite holidays! Last year I was in a huge parade back home in Albuquerque. Here's a pic:  Sep 07 08 12:44 am Link i want to do a dia de los muertos shoot so bad!! im getting a tattoo on my back of it!! love it! Sep 07 08 01:30 am Link I shot some Day of the Dead themed images for The Sugarplum Elves. Here is one of the images.  Someone has even started a list of Day of the Dead images. Not many on it, though. Sep 07 08 01:47 am Link  A photo I took at the Dia de los Muertos celebration at Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles. http://www.digitalartform.com/archives/ … _dead.html Sep 07 08 06:27 am Link I think I'm going to sit in here and watch this thread. I am still carefully planning out my day of the dead sleeve. [of course, I should probably finish the other one first before I actually go on to my right arm. ha!] Sep 07 08 11:21 am Link Sep 08 08 09:08 pm Link This is like a Macy's Christmas display - months too early. Sep 08 08 09:12 pm Link My birthday is Nov 2. Does that count? Sep 08 08 09:13 pm Link well..you might consider some of my shot distasteful to the dead? does that count?

To say that she was an ardent feminist is like describing a rabid Pitbull as merely a "dog." The manager closed down the main photographic facility (which had a large studio space and darkroom) by fiat without warning, and uses it now for many Hispanic events including religious activities like Dia De Los Muertos celebrations and shrines. There are major DDLM exhibits every year, and I expect this one will be no different. So if my distinguished colleagues want to see photos, as well as numerous shrines and other religious stuff, it'll be here. Unless they get stopped for using taxpayer money to support religious activities ... I know there had been rumblings over that in the past. Sep 08 08 09:51 pm Link glamour pics wrote: Religious? Sep 08 08 09:57 pm Link I love Dia De Los Muertos its an amazing holiday. I wish I could find someone to shoot it for me here in Michigan.

Sep 09 08 02:38 am Link Wow...leave the thread for a few days and it breeds a bit...great posts all! Sep 09 08 07:16 am Link Slaykitty wrote: Um...DVS is from Michigan I hear...
