By profession, I have been a licensed psychotherapist, an art therapist, a teacher of English and Literature, a clerical in a stock brokerage firm in San Francisco and an executive trainee in fashion merchandising in New York. My family history has been nothing out of the ordinary. I am the eldest of three children born to Bill and Boots, two veterans of WWII. I had a fairly normal childhood, grew up, went to college, began careers, and got married, like any average person. Some people might consider it a mundane life.

Three years ago, I was working on a Fine Art degree at Northern Arizona University and living in Sedona when I began getting paranormal lights in my photos. I knew very little about photography when I got a new Sony Mavica digital camera. I had gone sightseeing in Northern Arizona and didn’t know how to use the camera beyond clicking the shutter button. I took some pictures in a slot canyon and when I got home and looked at them in the LCD screen again, I wondered what was wrong with the camera, because I never saw the orbs (white balls of light) in the canyon while shooting there. I thought them odd, but dismissed them to my lack of photographic expertise. (Two years later, I was to return to that same canyon and get more interdimensional images there.)

A few weeks or months later, perhaps, I attended a lecture by Tom Dongo and Peter Gersten in Sedona on the paranormal in Sedona and UFO’s. I knew next to nothing about such subjects, and when Tom showed his portfolio of paranormal photos, something in me snapped; it was as if some part of me woke up, and I knew I had to take pictures like these. I didn’t know how or where or why, but some inner voice practically shouted at me to “DO IT!” I knew even less about photography than I knew about the paranormal.

Tom later looked at my strange photos and said they were paranormal and I should keep taking pictures, because some people, he said, could somehow access psychic phenomena through a camera, a process called "camera obscura." So, I kept at it, and I began reading all I could on the paranormal and UFO’s and related phenomena and more and more orbs and lights of all shapes and colors and sizes kept showing up. Most of the unusual photos were taken from my house in Sedona, but when on vacation, I would get a few strange ones, too. I tried different cameras, and I have gotten the non-visible phenomena with a total of 5 different cameras, some of them film cameras.

I have now taken over 3 or 4,000 images, I have lost count, but out of that many, I have a few hundred that are paranormal, so to choose which ones to put on my website has been a challenge. Since beginning this work, I have decided that the forms I get are not really paranormal, they are just invisible to our eyes in this light spectrum in the third dimension, hence, I am calling them interdimensional. I do believe our cameras are getting them now for three reasons: the cameras themselves are more advanced, our consciousness is more receptive to other life forms beyond our life on this planet, and our time has come to accept and learn more about life in other worlds in the universe. Therefore, these life forms are “showing themselves” to some of us. For me, this has been a wonderful adventure and introduction to what I believe is soon to come---our passage into the galactic community as a planet and as people of Earth.

I hope you enjoy these images as much as I have been delighted and enlightened by them. They continue to allow me to be one of their photographic emissaries, and I am honored and grateful.
