One of the (many) projects we’re working on is a photo essay about botanicas–those one-stop shops for all things mystical that are as common as bodegas (corner delis) in neighborhoods like El Barrio and the South Bronx.
Much more to come on this subject, but for now, a couple of photos that hint at some of the themes that we’ll be exploring:














I can’t wait to see this in full effect!!! I don’t know how complete the project is, but I’m willing to lend a hand if need be the case!
It’s only in the beginning phase, so help is definitely welcome! Can’t wait to meet/talk on Friday!
