This is one of the many Dead of the Dead exhibits that were on display in Grand Park between mid-October and November 3rd. I wanted the perspective and depth by using the wide angle lens. This contribution was by the Centre Theater Group.

For this angle I got closer, used the wide angle lens with the camera at the macro setting to make the figures look larger than they really were.

A number of different schools in the Los Angeles area participated in this project, all providing different themes. A photographic project is always a good one.

I couldn't resist framing this shot this way, as everything lent themselves to this image.

I liked the color coordination, which suggests Aztec colors, which is where the Day of the Dead originated. More on that later.
