Thought Photography article

Document written by Fried at the time.
"Because of the impromptu nature of the "thought photography" session between Lawrence Fried and Uri Geller, the following report cannot be taken as positive proof of the occurrence of a paranormal event. Fried's account of what he and his two colleagues witnessed in Geller's Manhattan apartment on a day in mid-1973 is an anecdote at best. Fried, an experienced photographer, is convinced that Geller could not have removed the lens cap from the camera to take the "thought" image that appeared on the developed film. The lens cap had been tightly taped on; Fried (and his two assistants) had watched Geller throughout the session, photographing him with another camera, and when Geller returned the camera he had been using, it showed no signs of having been tampered with. The circumstances under which the film was developed also convinced Fried that Geller could not have used trickery at the developing stage of the photograph. Fried recounts all of these things in his brief report, which is included in this book because of Fried's unimpeachable professionalism and expertise with a camera. "
