Well some one asked if the pictures were possible...........
I don't know about ghosts as I am more interested in Witches.
About witches there is a famous book with witches captured in it (just like
flowers).
Concerning me I had be able to take only on picture of a witch in a natural
park in wales. she was having a rest with her animal (a goat) near a lake.

If you have experiences , please tell me

I'm sorry, could it be "Lady Cottington's Pressed Fairy Book" you're
thinking of?

Forgive me if I'm wrong :)

Well, gosh if you really want to take photographs of a witch then come over
to my place and I'll let you photograph me doing lots of stuff! I have
dishes to be done, a big pile of laundry, customers to call, friends to see!
You can document it all and make a book of it.

Ditto - I've also got cats, puppies, hamsters, fish and a boyfriend to feed,
and washing, dishes, cooking, reading. Come on over...

We're not ghosts that come and go - we're real people with real lives and
loves and families and houses and jobs..

Well, it may not be difficult to photograph witches, but getting the
film developed is a different thing - most of my local developers are
pretty particular that everyone in the picture be 'decently' clothed .

Witches by and large do not worship 'skyclad' as it is called - most wear
robes, especially today and as many of us live in cities - can you imagine
being caught performing a ritual in the local park (among the vagrants and
winos) skyclad LOL oh dear.....

Oh, it gets better. Being in the photography bidnes in one form or
another for many years, I can tell you that those labs who say nothing
about the state of clothing of their customers are sure to have a
"rogue's" gallery, usually in the men's bathroom of the processing
place. I mean--the WHOLE wall, plastered with those photos hubby
talked you into taking on your anniversary after a bottle of
bubbly...those "clothes optional" beach shots...etc, etc...now THAT'S
free enterprise for you!

Didn't the famous baby photographer Anne Geddes do some jail time in the '80s
for something along these lines? Before she became well-known, she had taken
photos of her naked toddler and baby awash in a sea of flowers. The film
developer saw these and reported her to the police. She proceeded on a long
and messy journey to clear the charges. It is quite unbelievable, and I'm
not sure what the law is protecting anymore, especially since digital
photography is becoming more accessible.

I get so pissed off with this attitude of "if you like seeing naked
babies you must be a paedophile" crap. I think naked babies are soooo
cute! (Mind you, I think they are gorgeous in gro-suits too! My Mom
told me when my daughter was born "God made babies' butts so cute so
Moms wouldn't mind changing them" :-). Anyone who thinks someone might
get off on a picture of a naked baby is one sick puppy, IMO.

:) Your mother and mine would agree on that. The early shots of me
as a kid (yes, with my dinosaur, hehe) and my great white moon dancing
through the sprinkler on the front lawn were always favorites when the
family pics came out.

Kids are always cute (I think it's a natural law -- like gravity or
something) and a nude body can be an artform. Unfortunately I have to
admit that there are some sick pukes out there, but I never understood
why everyone has to be picked on because of the few real weirdos.

It'd be neater and easier if we just shot the sickos and left everyone
else alone.

Oh, yes. Well, you can go to specialty developers and get them
developed, but not your generic back-in-3-days shop. We went to a
clothing optional resort in Jamaica for our honeymoon, and got a
picture of a rather rude Toga Party costume (not featuring and
*genuine* flesh, just latex), and did not get a print for that shot,
but *did* get a nasty note from the devloper that they do not devlop
such pictures. Ironically, we also had some shots of a body painting
contest, one of which featured full frontal painted nudity on another
woman, and that one *did* get printed - I guess the painting made it
more difficult to tell that she was nude.

This is in Texas, and I don't know how it is other places. Where are
you from, Peter, that you've got an .si extension?

I agree whole heartedly.
Anyone that would harm a child should be removed
from the face of the earth as soon as possible.
It's a crying shame that childern must be taught to fear
strangers because of a few sicko's who shouldn't be allowed
to walk free anyway.
