On Wednesday, I went to Chinatown with Katie and Kathy and we got our Aura photos taken. (From L to R: Kathy, me, Katie). Thanks for coming down to visit! Happy September 2016!
Back at the apartment, I was excited to take my latest AuraCam photo and compare it to seven other previous photos I'd had take over the last 18 months.
Then I biked over to Chinatown to meet up with Davo's friend Jenny and a bunch of her friends. We got bubble teas and then walked over to Magic Jewelry for some Auracam6000 polaroids. (I'm all the way on the right)
Three photos of my "aura" taken over L to R:
7/15/13
7/27/13
8/10/13
The area above my head represents what I've been thinking / doing the last three days. The area on the left, represent the past three weeks. The colors on the right represent the energy / thoughts that are likely to come into your life over the next three weeks As in the future! The area over your body, represents your physical vitality.
Comparing the three photos, you can see some interesting changes over time, as well as some interesting things that don't change over time (namely, the "black spot" over my right shoulder).
Here's a close-up of my photo. After your picture develops, the woman there explains how the colors that appear in your photo relate to the things that you been thinking about and doing. I came and total skeptic and left dying to read more about how this thing works (I ended up visiting the house of the inventor when I was out in the Bay Area a few months later - but he was away at a conference!)
Here are our three "aura" Polaroids. From left to right: Jenny, Davo and me. We all went back to back so we were surprised to see such differences in our photos!
Before the film is exposed, you place your hands on two metal plates and the camera runs an small electrical current through your body. The device attached to the camera interprets the electrical resistance in various parts of your body and then "steps the wavelength of those high-frequency energy waves down several octaves from the electromagnetic spectrum, down to the their corresponding "colors" on the visible-light spectrum.
