GORGEOUS pictoral essay on this oh-so-very-Mexican holiday!!

BEAUTIFUL pictures!!! A photographer who captures the very HEART and SOUL of the people, and with a sensitivity to their culture and beliefs that merits the utmost applause!!! If you can't go to Michoacan on November 1st, this has got to be the next best thing to being there!!
