Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) Festival-NO HOST

I shot this festival last year and had a blast. It has a perfect venue at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. Check out www.ladayofthedead.com. I am not setting a meeting time yet but wanted to let everyone know about this cool event.

    I went and hated it. Too commercial like disneyland, no respect for the graves,
    Tooo many people. Was there 5-8pm.

    I went from noon to 2:30 because I had to go somewhere. It was a little too hot, but not crowded. I didn't see any F-Stoppers. Haven't had time to look at the photos, but will post some soon.

    I went, and never thought I'd make it back to the car. I was on my feet shooting until I couldn't stay anymore because: 1) I was exhausted, and 2) there was such a huge crowd by nightfall that there wasn't room to lift my camera to shoot. It was a photographer's delight.
    I can't wait to process my photos. Thanks, Bill.

    Don't forget to check their schedule on the web site for specific events you want to photograph. It would probably be helpful to you to print it out along with the map and take it with you. :-)

    Hi Everyone,
    I changed this to "No Host" since there are so many people going and trying for everyone to hook up will just be too difficult. As I said before, I bought my ticket for the 12-4pm entry. If any of you want to find me, my cell number is [masked]. Don't be shy... call if you want to hook-up! Also, be prepared for having to walk a few blocks from the parking areas (check their web site). Last year, some time late in the day they had shuttles running but they took a long time. When I get there I will "check-in" on the meetup site.

    Hi f/Stoppers!
    Tickets are now on sale for this event! Go to hollywoodforever.ticketfly.com to purchase your ticket. You need to select an entry time when you purchase it. I am getting mine for 12-4pm. Even though we haven't set up a meet up time yet I think I will definitely want to get there by 4pm.

    If you like bright colors and a opportunity to document a cultural experience, you will appreciate this venue. I have gone to this event for the last 2 years, and have always enjoyed myself. When people dress up and apply makeup, they enjoy being photographed, I recommend it to all photographers of all levels. It's great. See you there this year.
