In case you missed it, I wrote about the wacky and wonderful world of ORBS in last week's Pacific Sun. It was a fun story to do (better to see it with the photos if you download it as a PDF), as I got to talk to Hope and Randy Mead, who are the filmmakers behind Orbs: The Veil is Lifting, which was distributed through the people who produced What the Bleep. Orbs, for the apparent few of you who haven't been enlightened with the phenom, are balls of energy (or consciousness) that some believe can actually be seen in digital photos, like the above shot we took at the recycling center in Marin.
And we thought it was just dust. How pedestrian.
On a personal note, I found the Meads' concepts of identifying another dimension to be compelling and, at the very least, something to think about. They were very nice people, and quite intelligent--not the crazies some would assume to be a part of this New Age movement (I'm used to these sorts of people from Maui, of course). But still, I wasn't convinced that every unexpected round object they were seeing in photos were actually orbs, and told them so. Nonetheless, they were nice people.
My friend Jeff informs me there is also a very good metal band in SF called Orb of Confusion. Of course there is.
