To: the invisib1e hand
in the age of photoshop, photos are meaningless.

If one doesn't believe the photo because photoshop exists, you wouldn't have believed it before photoshop because of malfunctioning equipment, lighting anomalies or whatever reason. And even before photos you would not have believed you own eyes.

Technology has not made us skeptical, skepticism has made us skeptical.

Look, all we see in the picture is reflected light. Its broken up, and indicates nothing. What makes you think this is an angel? The lights could be anything. But to jump to the conclusion that this is an angel is ridiculous. The story could just as easily called it a ghost or sprites, or a UFO.

BOTTOM LINE: all we see is a blurry light. Nothing indicates anything else.
