Dia de Los Muertos - Pilsen Chicago 2014

So here we are in January 2015 and I'm finally getting around to posting some shots from last years Dia de Los Muertos in Chicago.  There's a really great sense of community in Pilsen - the entire neighborhood comes out for the parade - which was preceded by a massive amount of face painting.  We were lucky that the weather cooperated - chilly but not extremely cold.  
Most of these shots were taken with the Zeiss 50mm Sonnar-C.  Normally I wouldn't try to shoot a fast 50mm lens wide open but decided to take a chance - I thought a smaller DoF would enhance and really isolate the face painting.
