halloween in the castro hips at halloween day of the dead

Halloween in San Francisco’s Castro district is a always a huge thing, but this year about 300,000 people showed up, including me and my camera. I shot a few hips, bringing my total to 1,088. For anyone interested in how the project developed, I’ve arranged them in reverse chronological order.

There was a much better vibe a few days later in the Mission District’s Day of the Dead celebration. For some reason, I’d never been to this festival, but it was a welcome change from the craziness of the Castro.
