Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Is there a Goldbergverse thread somewhere?

Our boy does some explaining about photographing vamps.
I guess that I'm a little slow. Can anyone explain why vamps shouldn't photograph? I can see them, so they must reflect light onto my retina. Why wouldn't they reflect light onto film?

Well, they don't reflect into mirrors.

I think a better question is, does the photo have a reflection?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, they don't reflect into mirrors.
What does that have to do with being photographable, though?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Well, they don't reflect into mirrors.
Photographic film is not a mirror. The only difficulty I can see in photographing a vampire would be if you were using a single lens reflex camera, or similar, which uses a mirror to get the image to the viewfinder so you can compose the shot. Once you push the button to take the picture, though, the mirror flips up out of the way, and the light coming through the lens goes directly to the film.

Ah, a lawyer with a scientific mind. Dangerous! This would resolve the competing theories.

Sounds like an experiment waiting to happen to me.
Then there's the whole pesky breathing thing.
