I don’t with Taggarts spiritually aspects due to my religion. The way she she shows people in these photos aren’t appealing to me. It actually scares me a little bit. Everyone is untitled to their own beliefs. Some will choose to agree with her photos and others will not. With the way I was raised in a Christian home, this is some what of devilish ways. I personally don’t believe in Vodou. But being that Taggarts wanted the this type of spiritually beliefs to be shown people had to respect it. The photos to some might be acceptable to them because they believe in it as for myself I don’t agree or accept it. But as for documenting religious experiences is good because then one gets to see what other do with there personally traditions/religion. One doesn’t have to agree with a work but accepting it is a different thing.
