I took lots of photographs and had planned to write a treatise on how it worked, but I quickly got bored with that idea and wrote a scientific fairy tale instead.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I got into science because I thought that, with inspiration and hard work, I could figure out how life works.
In every successful still photographic project that I have completed, there has always been a turning point in the story where I felt that perhaps I was working on something that could be very special.
While in college, I used to get my ideas from photographs in 'National Geographic.' I started painting palm trees and motorboats.
From my earliest days, I was fascinated by science.
I was just fascinated with how everyone else in the world lived, and I was interested in telling their story.
Just about every science whiz can tell you how he or she took apart the TV or the radio when they were kids just to see how it worked. To see what the world was made of. Well, when I was a kid, I took apart fairy tales to see how they worked. To see what the world was made of.
The ideas I had about supernatural beings came to me the same way that my mathematical ideas did. So I took them seriously.
It is very enjoyable, writing a story. You get this idea. It takes hold of you. And then you spend day and night thinking about how to do it. And then you do it. And much later, you think, 'Oh, yes. That's an interesting question.'
It took me many years to figure out how to structure a compelling story.
I read comics and I did science, and never really put them together until I accidentally found myself in the middle of one.
