Mexico Absurdos

I finally managed to go through the images of Dia de Muertos… I remembered some weird situations. People wearing masks covered with other masks… A man shooting firework in his bare hand… A bursting musician after playing 12 hours…

VW Beetle ad

No movie of me this time. But an ad of VW. Feels like home here in Belgium, all these different nationalities and people driving around :)

Video of Dia de Muertos

I used my Canon 5DII most of the time to take pictures. But from time to time I switched to video. You can check out some impressions in this small video. Another video will be available later.

Night of the dead…

Yesterday was the first night for Mexicans to spend on the cemetery with drinks, music and family. Just a few shots to let you enjoy.

Parades of the death in Oaxaca

Oaxaca has been very alive since last night… a lot of tourists (with camera’s) and a lot of parades (comparsas) popping up from each corner of the city. I just keep on shooting and I am getting into memory problems to back-up all the pictures. The hardest work will be back at home, make the final selection and retouching. But for now I keep on hunting the festivities with my camera!

Preview of Dia de Muertos

After a few relaxing days of research, we got thrown into the comparsas (parades) in Oaxaca. A lot of music, alcohol and dressed-up people having fun on the streets. That’s what a like :) And the first boy, being Michael Jackson, so hilarious!

Oaxaca

I just got into Oaxaca. While walking on the streets to check out the atmosphere, we bumped into a celebration of a local Saint (San Judas). Some girls where getting ready to be driven around in the parade, sitting on a truck loaded with light…

Evil Taxi

The last two days I spent a lot of time and money on vocho taxi’s… I got more stories and videos “on the road”! While hiding from the rain, my eye catched this taxi. Only one week left and the whole country gets crazy about Dia de Muertos! I was laughing out loud in the rain, holding my Canon 5DII after shooting this video!

A ride in a vocho taxi

I am back on the road with an assistant, so I can take out my camera whenever I want. Like in this bumpy taxi ride… I got some more nice shots, but that’s gonna be for a final movie (in HD!).
