Image by Carlo van de Roer from his project, The Aura Portrait Machine

20x200 photographer Carlo van de Roer is curious about the most unusual things. You might recall my post about Carlo's Orb project. For those of you yet unfamiliar with the body of work, I'll warn you now, it may well lead to a few hours of clicking through site after fascinating site of believers in lens flare as something greater than, well, lens flare. Some wholeheartedly take lens flare to be evidence of the paranormal.

Carlo is currently making images with a Aura Camera 6000, a camera that possibly "can pick up your spiritual energy. The camera can then display this information as a colorful field around your body. The colors actually reflect your spiritual and auric state."

Read more about his new adventures in auraphotography on the T Magazine blog and on the Interview blog.

Carlo, if you are reading this, I'm ready to volunteer for my aura close-up.
