But...you must have a photo for which the negative still exists.

And here we are in the digital age--no negatives. Can it still work with a photo printed digitally?

Any thoughts? Anyone ever tried it with any results?

Thanks folks!

Whenever you take a photo, do a drawing or whatever, especially if the subject is a lifeform - whats the point?

The point is to catpture a representation of the object on some level. Now this representation can be pixels, chemicals, sounds, light - whatever - anything you can store data on.

As i'm posting to you right now a certain amount of my energy is leaking into the words im typing - this is why some posts can have a more dramatic effect on people if the person writing them was upset at the time - its like a trojan - it carries the REAL message people want to convey.

Soo.. what happens when you take a photo?

The essence of your object is caught on film. In a strict data sense, its just an image. But there's also something else that gets on there which i like to think of as an approximation - an identity trait. WHen you put a persons' photo on the plate it uses that identity trait like a linktab - same as Reiki energy - you dont really need to be specific with it - its just kind of "fire and forget", or should i say "channel and forget"

Another example of this energy i could tentatively call voodoo, alhtough ive never really looked into it seriously - but the idea of having a representative object linking an identity trait to do stuff is definately VERY powerful.

This is why when people send bad vibes out - ESPECIALLY online - it just kind of goes everywhere, because everyone reads those posts and snaps up some of that energy.

Electronic means of communication is no less potent than other forms - and by communication im using it as a catch-all phrase covering in your instance chemical photos but generally also snail-mail, telephony etc.

If anything these days its MORE potent. It's been...what? 2 hours since you posted this? you're still thinking about it, and i'm thinking about it and theres an interaction going on there.

So if you whip out your digicam, run home, print out a facsimile and then jam it on your plate could you not say the "identity trait" is "fresher" considering its only been in your camera for a shorter period of time?

Ermm..yeah.

Can I ask, LoonyFish, what the results were, when you tried it? Just curious, you don't have to give out personal stuff.

Thanks all, I'll give it a go..
