Stilt-walkers dressed in medieval costumes draw crowds of on-lookers as they move through the portals lining the city's main plaza. I use an abstract approach here to underscore the festival atmosphere that surrounds the Day of The Dead celebrations in San Miguel. I put the viewer into the image by shifting my vantage point behind the stilt-walkers instead of in front of them. By revealing only their shapes, I tried to intensify the scale incongruity between the towering figures and the crowd that surrounds them. There is a crowded feeling to this image – the people swarming around the performers, the wires draped overhead, even the hint of heavy traffic below, establish a mood of festive energy.
