She is a ghost, an Angel from the great beyond, photographed with the RG665 longpass filter, a mix of red and IR.
It is true, some people try to capture such mysterious 'phenomenon' with special cameras and filters.
I myself am a skeptic, but I think I may have actually captured an other worldly entity for the first time, but strictly by accident you understand.
It is, after all, the ghostly month of October, I am already eating pumpkin enchiladas, you need to get in the 'spirit' of things.
................
The meaning to life is not about intention. It is about discovery. Like discovering an Angel. ;-)
Everything is with intent.
Even discovery starts with an intent. The intent to discover.
As to October being the ghost month...one could also say it is July...if one believes in such things so as to wander off to capture their image.
I don’t know what ghosts look like...never seen one. Nor have any intention of getting one on film or as a companion.
Hence cannot comment on images of ghosts captured in visible or natural light. Or any other of EM spectrum. With or without nm filters.
p.s. I wonder if ghosts prefer left centered images!
It is not important. It is about what it is about for you, if it is about anything for you at all.
I don't have an 'artist's statement'. You don't need to know the moment of creation.
You can't, I am not going to tell you.
I am not going to talk about the reason or meaning of a photo.
If you are attracted to a photo, then don't ask me why, ask your self, find the reason and the meaning in yourself. My meaning has nothing to do with your meaning.
You are welcome to talk about a meaning you find or feel.
I have seen some rather nice photos posted on here, only to be asked "why?", "Is that marketable?", and a few other rather derogatory remarks that leave the artist with nothing.
Do you think art is marketing? It is not, marketing is business, how do you even imagine someone would want too market a photo anyway? You have reduced art to a marketable quantity?
Even without being asked? Is that art to you?
If you don't like something, move on, if you like something, enjoy, but if you need a xeroxed handout to make you understand a photo, then put your wine and cheese down,
go home, warm up a TV dinner, and park your self in front of an episode of Star Trek.
You will get more out of that endeavor I think.

To reduce your comment to that question alone seems a bit stale and dry.
