Thank you! Someone gets it!
If that were true, then entertainers billed at “magicians” would have no audience.
Maybe a more accurate word would be “wonder” as in a “sense of wonder” rather than “magic” to describe the expirience, like when looking at a sunset, an image from space, or other image that is commonly photographed. Heck, I still get a “sense of wonder” when I flick a switch on the wall and an electronic bulb lights up the room. I hope to never become so cynical that that leaves me.
This is changing. I had a total hip replacement this past summer (absolutely miraculous results!) and everything was handled via email with secure online document signings. But you're right, way too many businesses kept to fax long after it was a dinosaur.Oh yes. Fax too. Damn doctors always want to use fax because of US privacy laws. They refuse to use email. Really dumb.
I think Sal just has a modern knee jerk adverse reaction to the word "magic." It's one that I personally love and in this case agree it should be equated to those. Science and "magic" are not mutually exclusive.
You could switch to RC paper and use Ilford's 3-tray method (below) to wash them.

With all that water savings, you can shoot more.
What does the year have to do with emotion?...
...Deception has nothing at all to do with it. That's like saying that once you understand what causes a rainbow, or a brightly colored flower, it ceases to be beautiful. I can understand the process on a scientific level and still experience it emotionally as what I call "magical."...
"Magic" is a word the ignorant audience uses to describe what performers they're watching do. Those performers are properly termed illusionists. The illusions they perpetrate rely on science. Anyone who understands the science used by illusionists knows there's no such thing as "magic." Ask Penn Jillette.
That's what I do. When I really want to save water (at the rate things are going, everyone in our area will need to even more, and soon), I shoot digitally and print inkjet.
Oh, just that by now humans have had centuries to take in the scientific explanations of natural phenomena and stop getting all choked up when seeing them.
"Beautiful" is a word that describes something's physical appearance. "Magical" refers to something unexplainable. Unfortunately, people use them synonymously. Communication is challenging when the meaning of words is not commonly understood. See, for example, "art."

Perhaps when people use the word "magic", they are not using it literally. Just a thought.
I can tell Sal is a religious man.
Perhaps when people don't use words literally, they're failing to communicate effectively. Perhaps an Internet forum plagued by ineffective communication falls short of what it could be.
It is my understanding that religious discussion is prohibited on PHOTRIO. If a moderator indicates I'm wrong, I'll respond to your assessment. Otherwise, ...
The Rams came to L.A. twice. They started in Cleveland, were in L.A. for a long time and then left in 1995 for St. Louis. They came back in 2016 and I'm sure a lot of money was doled out to get them back.
...
What on earth this has to do with homeless people utterly baffles me.
Interestingly, magicians/illusionists/fakirs/wizards etc often used science before people understood it - like magnetism, for example. These people often didn't truly understand it either, but knew how to utilize it. Now "magic" is more a euphemism to describe something either unknown to the viewer, or to describe feelings evoked."Magic" is a word the ignorant audience uses to describe what performers they're watching do.

Be a Pastafarian like me.. our deity is the Flying Spaghetti Monster with his noodly appendages. Our heaven is full of beer fountains and strippers.
At least the second time, I did not have to pay for it for years.
One of my favorite quotes is from the mathematician Gregory Chaitlin, “Science is the same idea as magic: there are hidden things behind everyday appearances. Everyday appearance is not the real reality.”All this "magic" talk is hype. A photochemical process is science, not magic.
Believe me, we're paying one way or another.

We are so off-topic here, but this is from a L.A. Times piece from 2015:Not directly. Traffic, infrastructure improvement, et al.
Every once in a while we get a Breatharian dropping in here, but they don't last long.
They also rarely have much energy for photography.
Sal must have been really fun when this song started playing on the radio:
I have a tube tester floating around. Don't know why, aside from my guitar amp and an old radio I never had a use for tubes.
Capturing a fraction of a second of God's time in a camera is pretty magical.
I have a couple of them, you know, for back up. Did any older consumer photographic equipment use tubes?
When I worked in a photo lab back in the 70s, I think our Kodak 8S printers still had tubes.

She would be proud.
She would be proud.
Home I grew up in had a few of those old radios. We never managed to track the gremlins down that kept them from working.
