I'm going to take it back a few modules. Hope no one minds...
A while ago, my friend and I were in Eureka Springs, Arkansas and we were kind of bored. So, we went to a "new age" (I guess that is what you would call it) store to buy some tarot cards that we could use to pass some time. At the store, they were offering the opportunity to have your aura photographed and the resulting picture analyzed. This cost something mildly absurd like $20 each, so we declined the offer, but we did see an example. It was just a person's head surrounded by a strange, colorful halo. It seemed that the color and size of it would be what the analyzer based the meaning off of. We regretted not getting the pictures at the time, but looking back on it, more than the price of the thing was absurd--the whole concept was too. Isn't it pardoxical/ironic to have your aura photgraphed? Doesn't a photograph strip the subject of her aura? I do not think that Benjamin would think that photographing an aura is possible, and it seems to me now that it was just an overpriced gimmick (though, I will say, an interesting gimmick nonetheless).
