Yes. That is not to say that you or the person who took the photo would know the difference though.
So you're claiming that somebody could deliberately take a photograph of dust but you could still tell that it was the Holy Spirit? That isn't very plausible.

I would suggest that you stop being gullible and throw some dust in the air and find out for yourself whether or not you can actually replicate the photographs that I have shown with dust.
No it's the other way around. It's up to you to show that your pics can't be anything but spirits.
And by the way, gullible isn't a word, go look in a dictionary.

Our Lady of Guadalupe
It is said this apparition miraculously appeared on fabric December 12, 1531.
Notice the oblong shape around Mother Mary and the angel. I believe this was done through the Holy Spirit.

Re: Our Lady of Guadalupe
That oblong shape is a bathtub standing on end. That's how it is universally done to this very day.

Re: Our Lady of Guadalupe
The Holy Spirit has a thing for bathtubs. We try to avoid mentioning it. It's not pretty.
BVM in a bathtub is a common garden accent in these parts.

A bathtub...really? A very immature level is manifested when an intelligent debate fails the person.

Evidence?
Evidence rather than unsupported assertions and unsupported correlations would be a big help. Can you provide any?
And no, scripture is not evidence...

Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.
Belief gets in the way of learning--Robert A. Heinlein
How can I possibly put a new idea into your heads, if I do not first remove your delusions?--Robert A. Heinlein
It's not what we don't know that hurts, it's what we know that ain't so--Will Rogers
If I am entitled to something, someone else is obliged to pay--Jerry Pournelle
If a religion's teachings are true, then it should have nothing to fear from science...--dwise1
"Multiculturalism" demands that the US be tolerant of everything except its own past, culture, traditions, and identity.

Re: Evidence?
Without scripture, how will you know what the evidence is?
