The right answer: A was devised by the Post Ofice in the early sixties because they wanted all states to have a two letter abbreviation to be used for mail. It appeared on vehicle license plates like that for many years. Now PA has become accepted for many uses. Any two letters after the comma would be a state abbreviation.
In this case, it would be Pennsylvania. The right answer: From the name of a city in Asia Minor also mentioned in the book of Revelation in the New Testament. The movie was made in the very early days of the AIDS epidemic and was considered a real landmark in open treatment of the subject.
The right answer: do you mean facts? Pennsylvania is the first state of the fifty United States to list their web site URL on a license plate. The best answer: Much too much fats about the people of Philadelphia.
All of them need to diet and exercise in that case. Johnny Doc corruption charges. Headlines of Yore. Latino Life in Philly. Walter Wallace Jr. Election Get all your Philly news in one place, every morning.

Arbitrarily, yes, on very very rare occasions, sometimes taken by amateurs, sometimes taken by professionals. The concept, though, is rather flawed and conceited. Living creatures are mercurial by nature, they are in a constant state of change both physically and emotionally. It is impossible to know ones self, therefore it is impossible to define ones self, therefore it is impossible to capture that definition. Add to that the natural inclination to judge a photo as "good" because it bares a resemblance to the imagined idealized concept of an individual rather than consider it as an artifact of the animal captured in time.
It is very much akin to the experiments of dabbing paint on a chimps face and seeing if he recognizes himself in a mirror. To understand the true nature of a photograph, it would help to understand quantum physics and the exploration and understanding the dimensions, specifically the dimension of time.
Time is a moving stream, there is no past, present or future, there is, rather, a complete stream that exists in it's entirety.
There is a headwater and there is the river and there is the delta. The water in the stream only moves in one direction, but all of the parts of the river exist at once. If all the people and houses and grass are made of water in the stream, a photograph records all the water at this point on the bank, at this time, afterwards the water has moved down stream. A photograph literally records a frozen split second of time. It is one of the few processes mankind has at it's disposal to do this.
So when the camera goes off, you record forever evidence of a transient reality. It doesn't matter if the picture looks like the human, it doesn't matter if it is in focus, doesn't matter if it is a snaphot of the inside of your pocket. They are all records of stolen reality, despite what interpretation we may assign to them.
Our judging of whether it is good or bad is a secondary process that is totally unrelated to the photo and is assigned in a completely arbitrary way after the fact. There is a need in humans to seek out a secure feeling of constancy. It is in our nature, it is in our philosophies and our religions.
This is why we attach so much sentimental power to the photo and whether it looks like us. We are made of that theoretical water, we constantly change and eventually we are no more.
Our need to have the photo live on forever representing an idealized encapsulation of all that we are- is ultimately impossible to juxtapose over the frozen halfsecond image of a constantly changing animal.
Any success in that is due to our willing delusion and not the recorded image. In otherwords, we place importance on the picture because, if, by a trick of the light, it is beautiful, we can insist that it is us, that we are beautiful. The photo becomes our proxy, our touchstone, while we live out our less than beautiful existances. As long as it exists out there somewhere we remain beautiful.
Can a camera capture a "ghost" or "spirit visitor"? It depends on the photographer and his integrity. There have been many claims of catching a face or a person in a shot that shouldn't have been there or looks very different from modern people such as clothes.
However, many of these can be debunked by taking a closer look at it and finding it has been edited severely even on a recording can be changed now. Though, there are some instances where it looks to be true. That one shot something is there and the next there isn't and only a couple of seconds passed between both shots. But this comes down to the honesty of the photographer.
So capturing ghosts is still questionable.
