Day of the Dead Photography Workshop – amazing experience! The Nov.1 Day of the Dead photography workshop was an unforgettable 10-hour cultural experience that exceeded all my expectations!
I chose to do the all saints day/day of the dead photo walking tour. The idea was to learn photo tips but to be honest I was a bit of a naughty student kid in candy shop! Overwhelmed with what I was experiencing, learning and enjoying the company of the group.
Wow!!! This was almost a year ago! Best photo journey ever. So grateful for the experience. I learned so much from you and can’t recommend this enough!
