In Glory of Majestic Magnum Opus

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

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

But according to theoretically existing 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 breathe of the moon and the sun.

This exciting discovery prepared for them dreams and fantasies which had value no less than the Majestic Sol. It is laudable to say that the necessary duration time for the mentioned act was found out through trial and error.

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