dia del los muertos @ olvera street (11/02/2011).

a day that is as haunting as it is beautiful.

my family has never celebrated it in the traditional sense.

nevertheless we take this time to recognize the loved ones lost, while being thankful for the fortune to be alive, healthy, + enjoying the lives we were blessed with.

(it’s sad that some aspects of the holiday have become so gimmicky lately).

quien con la esperanza vive, alegre muere.
