December
12 is the saints day for the Virgin of Guadalupe throughout
Mexico. It is a special time of celebration and worship
in Puerto Vallarta, with villagers and organizations marching
to the church over a period of several days. These photos
are some of Allans impressions of the celebration.
Note that they are taken with available light only, so there
is a wonderful element of motion and mystery to them.
