Thanks for the continually stimulating conversation, Dawn. It's such a pleasure.

So many things I don't think about until someone else brings them up.

I actually see far more entities in photos than I ever highlight and share. I choose the ones that I think would be most relevant, or that others would most easily "see". Some amazing sights are just too hard to outline or too subjective, but they add to my personal insight so my subjective view of the other realm is rather detailed.

I think that paranormal societies will someday spend more time on spirit photography again. The early days of photography brought out lots of strange hoaxed things that tainted the area for a while. Once people get something in their mind it tends to stick (beliefs such as all clear spirit, fairy, bigfoot, and UFO photos are faked). I was the same with fairy photos until I captured one myself. But another thing is, people also have further subconscious boundaries once they even accept that a fairy exists and can be photographed. Then they expect that it must look like their concept of a fairy. And they probably have rules in their mind as to whether it would be opaque or transparent, and its gender, etc. I have even had a few people seem incredulous that fairies would be here in Australia--perhaps they thought fairies only exist in Europe. I had never thought about the geography of it myself. But it illuminates how many firm mental restrictions and rules we unconsciously harbour and apply! I am absolutely no exception and even denied some of my own captures early on. I still must stretch my mind daily.

I do think that to continue to discuss spirit photography openly, honestly and with goodwill, and sharing our photos, will continue to open minds to this wonder.
