VooDoo Fence

Here are some screen shots of the footage I shot in the Bywater yesterday. I love these paintings. They line an alley leading to a small building where VooDoo ceremonies are held. It's amazing to me that these are the real deal... like most art in New Orleans, this is authentic.

you hear about VooDoo all your life... and here in New Orleans I've been in the VooDoo shops in the Quarter, etc. It's amazing to me that what I'm learning about now is the real deal. And the cherry on top is to discover VooDoo, at its heart, is a positive religion.

amazing. It exhibits a healthy attitude towards Death. So many fear it.. these paintings embrace and celebrate it.
