Calvary Cemetery in East Los Angeles

CommunionDress
In 1998 I was teaching a photo class at Self-Help Graphics and took the students on a field trip to the Calvary Cemetery in East LA. Before meeting the group I took a walk through the ornate All Souls Chapel built in 1902. There I followed a family that was shooting a young family member's First Holy Communion photos. The photo appeared in Americanos: Latino Life in the United States published in 1999.
