WHAT IS AN AURA PHOTOGRAPH?

Developed by Guy Coggins in the 1970’s, an aura photograph is created by attaching an instant film camera to two electrode hand plates containing physiological sensors. Through the meridian points in a person’s hands, these plates sense the vibrational frequency they radiate. That frequency is then matched to a corresponding color through an algorithm in the camera. The image produced is a double exposure of the subject and the colored electricity of their body.

In honor of Alice’s birthday on St. Patrick’s Day, our March walk will take place in Moravian Cemetery where Alice is buried.
