Documenting Brooklyn Vodou

In today’s society, there are many people from very different religions. People don’t all believe in many of the same things. I feel like it was a great idea of Taggart’s to capture these different kind of religious practices while they were actually happening. I do agree that maybe it might be a little intrusive for the people practicing this kind of “Vodou” and maybe they didn’t like being photographed while in their element. But it is a great way to help people on the outside see what goes on while they are being “possessed”. The photos are a little creepy to me just seeing the women with their eyes rolled back and their body’s trembling is crazy. But I feel like that was Taggart’s objective, to capture a REAL religious moment and not a staged one, so people can get really see what goes on, creepy or not.
