Welcome to the latest edition of Interdimensional Photography. 2007 was a great year for the ORBS. Just as people began to increasingly interact with them, science began to reconsider dismissing them. Even though the "dust" theory is not dead and buried yet, the "lens flares" theory is still popular as explanations for spheres of light which are in the light. However, not to worry, because 2007 was also the year the Orbs had their very first CONFERENCE, (go to: www.greatmystery.org/event.htm) with two more scheduled for 2008. The first conference was a sellout, held in Sedona, AZ in May, which I attended in awe and sheer delight. Hence, the orbs are now recognized as a very special kind of UFO in their own right---UFO's that are not really objects, per se, but consciousnesses with compassion, humor, intent, wit, intelligence, and oftentimes incredible beauty. Oh yes, they still manifest faces for us, too, grin, and some people are claiming that the Orbs talk to them, so, what will they think of next, besides making crop circles, de-activating nuclear missiles, and subduing potentially active volcanoes?

This year, people's personal experiences began to solidify theoretical explanations of what the orbs might be. As each year comes and goes, we seem to have more pieces of the puzzle. Personally, I am less inclined to say, "What the heck are they?" and more inclined to think COMPASSIONATE INTELLIGENCE. In addition to some great orbs photos by yours truly and guests, there are ectoplasms, UFO's, enigmas, energies, spirits and such---the usual, or unusual, as the case may be. 2007 was also a great year for submissions to the site by novice orb photographers, and I have received some incredible photos from around the world, as well as some fascinating stories of interventions by orbs. My sincerest thanks to all those who have shared your photos and experiences with me. As usual, I am posting some of those for you to enjoy and study. Special thanks to Ron Russell, Chris Ablinger, and Harriet Hough, whose never-ending sharing of photographs and questions kept me questioning, and Jane Hawthorne, whose encouragement and delight re-ignited my photographic passion.
