Guanajuato, Mexico. Photographer Pete McBride writes: ‘I visited Guanajuato to do a story about Josefa Ortiz Dominguez, a Mexican heroine – and possible distant relative – who helped start the revolution against the Spanish in 1810. This was a key location on the Ruta de la Independencia – the main path of fighting that led to Mexico’s independence. I shot the image at the overlook of this historic, festive town at dusk on the evening of 1 November, Day of the Dead, symbolic timing when chasing the ghosts of my family history’.
