No. 5: Everywhere a Sign - An Altar and Display at the Northgate Gonzalez Supermarket in the Barrio Logan neighborhood of San Diego. The Day of the Days aka All Saints Day is a big celebration here with many decorations, altars, dances and festivals. Many people get dressed up and paint their faces. I did a series of portraits in Old Town San Diego last year, you can see them here:

There is a big celebration again this Saturday in Old Town San Diego and forty photographers of my Photo Group will be attending taking pictures of the festivities.
