Orbs

I was wondering if anyone has had an orb show up in a photograph? What are they and why might they appear?

I met a German spiritual philosopher on the train once. He had been taking pictures for coverart for his audiobooks. On one of the photos there was was a discolored circle (so, an orb) in one part. He said that it was a sign from God, and that the orb was God. (I highly doubt he meant God as in the Christian or Muslim, or whatever God, by the way...)

Hmm...I wonder what kind of sign it is though? When I zoom in on the orb in my picture there appears to be the image of a face and it looks sad/distressed which is a bit disturbing!

I've had someone take pictures while I was working. The pictures had orbs all over the place. Some were transculent, others opaque like golf balls, some of them looked the size of grapefruits or basketballs. They were above me, behind me, above the client, in the corners of the room, etc. There were two orbscoming out of the palm of my hand between me and the client, whichwas interesting. It was like something scifi special effects, lol. There were also these odd, very bright and opaque oblong things that looked different from the orbs in that they looked like they were moving around, while the orbs seemed to float more stationary. When I blew the orbs on my computer using magnification they all resembled circular rainbow, which was neat. The photos were taken with a regular digital camera.

Orbs are cool. I've had kids who were brought in my their parents who were complaining their kids were "seeing things" and wondered if they were ok and could I talk to them, etc. I think the kids are fine. I had them sketch out what they saw, and it is similar to what shows up in the photos I described earlier.
