Matching flower pots

View from the cemetery

Musicians everywhere

There are persons walking around selling white wooden crosses and

also sign painters that will write or paint anything you want in a wooden cross.

Kid retouching the letters on a relative's tomb.

Some of the tombs are inside cages to prevent vandals from vandalizing

the tombs. Some of these cages did not have a door because the doors

where stolen. The cages are too heavy to carry or there wouldn't be any

cages either. (The metal is sold in a junkyard)

Some of these old cemeteries are completely abandoned and are used as

garbage dumps and hangouts for gangs. If it doesn't look like a dump is

because it was cleaned for this celebration but there where piles of trash on

the sides of the cemetery.

The radio on top of the tomb was playing the music the person

buried there liked when she was alive.

Day of the Dead (A celebration of Life!)

Spent all day in a cemetery in Juarez taking photos and talking to people.
