The three digital photographs Catherine published for UNHEALED SPIRIT, below, were not the only pictures from that session. There were two others --the first two-- which I'd like to add now. Here's the first, here's the second.
As you can see, they're beautiful and sad, but without the strange effects obvious in the latter three. Now, as I can witness, all five were taken within about seven minutes, all under the same unvarying conditions. There was no sudden cloud cover, or sprinkler, or mysterious fog, or bug invasion, or camera shaking. She did not change any camera settings. The effects were not caused by a low camera battery, or a gamma-ray attack, or some neutrino intrusion.
Catherine conceived this tableau to commemorate our collective loss on September 11, 2001, and our unhealed emotions about that horrible day.
And spirits came. And they are as unhealed as we are.
