Capture the rich traditions of the Day of the Dead, one of Oaxaca's most time-honored holidays, during this special workshop. Get immersed in parades of costumed children, seas of flickering candles, and the sweet fragrance of cempasúchil, the so-called "flower of the dead." Photograph the stunning street dances of the Etla Valley, the expressively painted faces of young and old, and timeless rituals against the evocative backdrops of graveyards, village homes, and ancient ruins.

Daily assignments, location shoots, and critique sessions are designed to improve your photographic technique. This workshop is geared toward amateur and serious digital photographers, and includes an overview of downloading, archiving, sizing, and adjusting your images on the computer. All participants must bring a digital SLR camera, a laptop computer, and software for organizing and presenting images.
