              15 Amazing Images Of The Festival of Colors

              Thomas Hawk, San Francisco based photographer, took amazing photos during the 2012 Holi Festival of Colors in Spanish Fork, Utah earlier this year. The Hindu festival of Holi is being celebrated every year on March, and became a big hit in the photography community in the past few years because of the use of a lot of colored powder that makes it all look very magical.


              Back in April we featured here an amazing video from a similar event in India, if you missed it please check it out!
