19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest The American Experience
Remembering A Life
I photographed this ofrenda at a Day of the Dead celebration. The image shows pictures and objects assembled to remember a son who had died at an early age. Mexicans believe that one dies three times: physically, when is buried and if the deceased's memory is forgotten then s/he dies forever.
