[Tin Can]

many ways to nirvana

some collect prints made by Heros

other collect gear

some emulate

some are chemists

some are Pros

most are not

money

friends

eternity

The goal is to know who and what you are and, if possible, to make peace with that!

Exactly! That was Gurdjieff's question "What is the sense and significance of life on this planet in general and human life in particular?"

The story of G.I. Gurdjieff and his travels to achieve enlightenment and inner growth. Beginning with his childhood, the movie follows his journeys through Central Asia as he discovers new levels of spirituality through music, dance and near-encounters with death.

Perhaps this fits

I notice Alt Printers are thinking about eliminating 'acetate film'

for a cleaner option they propose paper negs

sooner or later 'Real Film' as we know it will be gone



unless we can Jam supercomputers


and go back to Dark Ages

One goal is happiness. Often achieved by loving and being loved. My conclusion after 54 years of marriage.

Oh, you know - the usual stuff…to be driven by passion from who knows where (a higher power?) - to take unreasonable risk, to fail heroically, to consider the good advice of others while ultimately rejecting it, to love unconditionally, to embrace beauty when and where I find it (and to find beauty in what others might consider ugly), to ignore idle gossip, to embrace my “alone” time and times for quiet reflection/observation, to fix whatever I can when it breaks, to continue to embrace my belief that creating photographs (which continues to drive me beyond all else) - is a worthy persuit, that I will remain a student for life, stay curious, and will never stop exploring!

I never left the darkroom ages and perfectly happy to stay here in the dark!

I used to have the goal of dying with the most or bestest toys, but someone just won that competition, dying with a submersible piloted with a Logitech game controller.

Michael R pointed out that this is in the photography thread, with the implication that the goals should be within photography. I'll claim that the goal I listed above applies to my photography, as well as life in general. :cool:
