The thing about the fiesta in Teotitlan del Valle is that it is just so visually rich that one can shoot hundreds of shots and still not get it all. So of course, I shoot hundreds of shots and then have to go through them all and glean a few gems.
Well, there are just too many damn gems, so deal with these for now.
These outfits have so many details, some of them so small as to not be noticed. I will post something later that focuses on them.
The leggings are amazing this year.
Think of the work that goes into this outfits!
Beautiful woven capes returned.
Some appeared to be silk screened or painted.
Feathered headdresses caught the wind and made dancing even more strenuous.
Doña Marina
and Malinche are two aspects of the same person and are represented by Leticia Martinez Gonzalez and Rosa Angelica Hernandez Mendez.
Stop being so cute!

These are beautiful. And so are the people.
Do you have any photos of the corn used for this fiesta? I believe they use the red corn and I would love to see preparations with it.

Forgot to ask--are the bands on the leggings woven from wool, like the rugs?

I have not seen the red corn, but come to think of it, maybe I did as i got s couple of tamales from a woman by the church.
As for the leggings, there are some that are woven, but others look like they might have been sewn.
