Burn this! Tultepec, Mexico is home to the ten-day National Pyrotechnic Festival and fireworks are the town’s primary source of employment year-round. It’s a mixed blessing for the locals, who are artisans and indeed artists of the highest order, but who also bear the scars of working with explosive materials on a daily basis. Danger and thrilling beauty go hand in hand in this extraordinary dive into the flowers of the night.
