    Re: LF Purity

    Google that set of letters and all kinds of science pops up

    Including my eye problem, causation with possible prescription

    i.e. too much reading when young

    Guilty!

    Religion has nothing to do with it

    I should have appended an easy poll – a choice between a physical or abstract association.

    For me, purity is more physical, like darkroom water or the air I'm shooting through.

    More interesting, it seems that those with mental (ideal, spiritual, abstract) associations are either repelled or attracted by them. Bernice seems repelled by them ("Priesthood," "Myopic orthodoxy") and Pere reaches for them as an ideal.

    I feel each reaction at times.

    I've never heard the word "purity" in that context before.

    If you believe you can, or you believe you can't... you're right.

    This is difficult to explain, but imagine you are making La Pietà today... You can make a digital model, then using 5-Axis machining, if the sculpture is not sound you can modify the digital file and "print" it again with a click.

    Michelangelo Buonarroti did it in a different way, the sculpture was inside the boulder and he only had to remove the stone on it. Quite easy, just hitting the boulder with a hammer. This is a kind of purity.

    Purity - that split second when you see your negative for the first time and it makes your heart sing. As a newbie it doesn't happen often but it's a joy when it does. There are so many factors that contribute to that moment.
