Orígenes de la celebración
Los orígenes de la celebración del Día de Muertos en México, pueden ser trazados desde la época de los indígenas de Mesoamérica. En la época prehispánica se compartía la creencia de que existe una entidad anímica e inmortal que da conciencia al ser humano y que, después de la muerte, continuaba su camino en el mundo de los muertos.
Origins of the celebration
The origins of the Day of the Dead celebration in Mexico can be traced back to the time of the indigenous people of Mesoamerica. In pre-Hispanic times, the belief was shared that there is an immortal soul entity that gives consciousness to human beings and that, after death, continued its path in the world of the dead.

Samedi 29 mars : 1ère séance du cycle Villes métisses
dans le cadre de l’exposition Planète métisse : Mexico
Les métissages qu'explore Planète métisse se développent de manière privilégiée dans les métropoles du monde. C'est là que les corps, les musiques, les croyances et les idées apprennent à vivre ensemble et engendrent des sociétés nouvelles.
Mois après mois, est proposé un tour du monde des villes métisses en écoutant des témoignages, en discutant des situations et en partageant l'imaginaire des cinéastes d'hier et d'aujourd'hui.
Ce cycle permettra ainsi de creuser les pistes ouvertes par l'exposition et aura lieu pendant toute sa durée.

I was lucky enough to get some good storm clouds while in New Mexico a few months ago. I did a 5 week tour of the Southwest that lead me through Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, and Texas. I spend two days here morning and night trying to get something a little more then a stock shot as there are many good shots of this image.
A few spots left for our Palouse workshop coming up in a few weeks.. everything is already turning green there. You can go to my profile page to find out more...
Some pictures taken by the late Michael Cleary. May 1979.
I think everything employed here was secondhand from the USA.
Nice to see that Mexico City is in the exclusive club of cities with trolleybuses to the airport!
Cosmos bipinnatus ‘Candy Stripe’ (Mexican aster)
The Cosmos flowers originated in areas of Latin America. In Mexico, they were grown in mission gardens by Spanish priests. Impressed by their bloom and their balanced petals, the priests christened the flower with the name "cosmos", claiming that the cosmos exuded 'cosmic beauty'.

Taxco is a town in the state of Guerrero, southwest of Mexico City, famed for its silver jewelry production and Spanish colonial architecture. Plaza Borda, the main square, is home to the landmark 18th-century Santa Prisca church, with stone towers and a rose-colored facade in elaborate churrigueresque style. Nearby, the Casa Borda cultural center displays works by local artists, and hosts music and theater events.
New Mexico? But this is in Utah! Specifically, this is on the trail heading down to the Black Gulch in the Red Cliffs NCA.
See the two people under the brim. Enlarge photo to see them.

Mexican Hat, one of Utah’s strangest rock formations, balances a flattened pancake disk atop a 300-foot-high talus cone. It’s really not a hat at all, but a sombrero with a wide brim jutting above a narrow head. The rock, a famed landmark along US 163, rises east of the highway above the west bank of the San Juan River.
Mexican Hat is a caprock of Cedar Mesa sandstone atop a pedestal and talus cone of the Halgaito Formation, a bed of red shale and siltstone. Both formations, part of the Cutler Group, date from the Permian Period, over 250 million years ago. The shales were deposited by sluggish streams that wandered across a moist vegetated lowland along the coastline of a shallow sea. Early ancestors of the dinosaurs populated the ancient landscape, leaving fossilized skeletons and bones as record of their passage. Erosion dissected the shale, leaving this spectacular remnant of erosion-resistant sandstone.
I propped my camera on the table at a Mexican restaurant in San Diego and fired off some shots. Looking at this pic, it's an example of how Mexican art and design favors vibrant and fun colors, such as yellow and purple, even when presenting simple items such as a cup. The folk art in this restaurant was wonderful, too. The place was Jimmy Carter's near UCSD, and my daughter is doing the pouring. Apparently, there's no affiliation with the former President.
Mexico, 14 octobre 2017.
Cette photo-là c’est un peu ma version moderne de la photo « Notre-dame des iguanes » de Graciela Iturbide. Tiens, on a qu’à l’appeler « l’apôtre des torgnoles » ou « L’abbé baffe » … « le directeur de conscience du ramponneau », « le ministre du culte de la valse » « le victimaire de la giboulée » bon, j’arrête, je vais me faire attaquer par les descendants de Michel Audiard.
Quand j’ai voyagé en Amérique, je me suis renseigné sur les photographes du coin, c’est comme ça que j’ai découvert Graciela. On peut pas dire que je sois fan de Graciela, elle a eu une période photographie de bébé mort qui a duré trop longtemps pour mon petit coeur fragile. Mais un jour pas fait comme un autre, elle a photographié une femme avec des Iguanes sur la tête, et avec le temps, c’est devenu une photo culte par là-bas. J’aimerais bien que mon « bonze de la châtaigne » soit aussi connu un jour. Il le mérite. Il a un petit côté survivant qui correspond bien à l’état d’esprit de Mexico.
Mais bon, c’est pas à moi de choisir, et puis de toute façon, j’ai même pas pensé aux iguanes quand j’ai fait cette photo, j’étais bien trop occupé à tout faire rentrer dans le cadre pour déjà penser à d’hypothétiques sous-titres.
