who am i, to say i understand all the ways in which light bends, or all the things that bend it?

i cant say i put much stock in such things, but i am far, far from compleating my goal in life of understanding everything. in general, i dont believe in spirets or ghosts or anything like that, but I do think theyre is a lot that can be explained. i tend to take the view that we all build micro-versions of everybodys minds, an emulator if you will, and that this ghost is carried on with us for as long as we check it. perhaps, a ROM image of the person we once knew? thats how we are able to tell what someone is thinking, even if they arnt arround to conferm it.

i think an afterlife is a personal thing, and that theyre are as many deaths as theyre are lifes. i dont know if this related to how to capture the dead (or some other fleeting thing) on film, but sparking conversations cant hurt...

If you know of who I am speaking, I think I've got a picture in which you can almost clearly see Cantor.

As soon as I am back to roma I'll carefully scan and post it.

It's pretty easy to fool people who want to believe. I used to have a camera with a slow shutter speed that I would start on one scene, then with the button still down, I'd move quickly to a scene with people in it. The result was what looked like ghosts captured on film. For a while I'd put people on about how I'd discovered evidence of ghosts, and almost every time they believed me, even though I thought I was making it clear I was just fucking around. A few people even offered to buy them--everybody told me to take it to a museum or the police or something (nobody really knew quite where to take such a thing). Of course, this was in elementary school.
