On the Glory of the Opus Magnum

     Photography is photo and graph put together. Photo means light, and graph means to write. These two Greek words were in common use amongst medieval alchemists before the invention of the photography apparatus.

     Medieval photographers were curious human beings who intended to use the constant, homogeneous heat of fire in dark, smoggy rooms to fuse dense elements and worthless metals, such as copper, to make that majestic magnum opus come to fruition. This means they were following their dreams to turn things into valuable gold. Naturally, this majestic work took a long time, sometimes a whole life.

     But according to documents, when they stepped out of those smog-infested rooms for a breath of air, they found themselves in the making of a much greater and more majestic process: the turning of winters into summers and the never-ending breath of the moon and the sun. Hence, they had to reconsider their daily laborious tasks.

     In fact, many stood out there and eventually changed into probably some colorful vapor and vanished into thin air. Less enduring ones went back to the same old lab and stood in front of the same furnace and primitive blower.

     The seven stages of the great majestic work in the pre-classic era consisted of:

Finding the dense element. - Proof: The denser the better.

Superb wash. Proof: Reaching Jealous Purple.

Superb burning. Proof: the appearance of blackness. Maximum heat. - Proof: The appearance of a round pink. Endurance in the melting point. - Proof: Observing Kodak Yellow.

And then Glittering Silver Beauty.

Finally, the transformation of the dense element into Fantasy Stone is the end of the Majestic Magnum Opus.

     But the daily reconsideration has led to many alterations, so that the less enduring works of the anti-classic era have transformed the majestic magnum opus entirely. The process of the work in modern times has been in the order of taking the glittering beauty from the dark room and putting it in a darker room, thereafter admittedly opening the light protection door in a light place, so that the darker room is lit, knowing that the light carries information from the source and the reflector.

     This exciting discovery prepared them for dreams and fantasies of equal value to the Majestic Sol. It is laudable to say that the necessary time for the mentioned act was determined through trial and error.

     In conclusion, after many majestic winters and summers have passed and with the grand process of daily reconsideration, modern-era specialists of dark rooms have defined the process mentioned as the transformation of fantasy to...
