Everytime I meet a new-age, crystal-worshipping type of person who speaks in 
awe of the wonders of Kirlian photography, I say, mm-hmm, so show me a 
Kirlian photograph.  The one time someone did actually show me an example of 
what purported to be a kirlian photograph, it looked like a picture made with 
an oatmeal box pinhole camera, where the aperture was too large and fuzzy and 
the box was constantly moving while the exposure was made.  It was impossible 
to discern an image, even if I were willing to suspend my disbelief that the 
exposure was made using Kirlian principles.  I'd guess it would be incredibly 
easy to generate a 3D image of the same stellar quality as the purported 2D 
image that I saw.
