After that, MDG Photography changed. Marco still didn't advertise "ghost photography." But sometimes, a client would arrive with a strange request. A child who wanted a photo with a "tall man in a hat" who only appeared in the hallway mirror. A widow who saw her husband’s silhouette in the kitchen at 4 PM. He waited
