I think purism only matters to other purists. In my experience, it certainly doesn't matter to the viewer. And the viewer should be who we all do this for in the first place.
:gasp, choke: I never pick up my camera for the purpose of pleasing some imaginary viewer. I am into this for my own aesthetic expression. If whoever views it gets some pleasure from it, then I am pleased, and my artistic expression may seem more validated, but that is not the driving force for me. I cannot imagine a point in time that it will be.
