For the inaugural image, I photographed Wanda, who is a friend, but also notably written one of the well known episodes of the 2nd season of the Star Trek: Next Generation. The kicker is that it was the first script she had ever written, but more on that later. Anyway, after finishing photographing, I was about to do our audio interview and the subject of Leonard Nimoy came up. Wanda said that while they had never met, Leonard Nimoy was her mentor and inspiration. Then she said that actually there was a famous photo of Nimoy standing in front of his car. She said she wouldn't presume to copy Mr. Nimoy but asked if we could take a snapshot with a digital camera. I thought about it (sadly mainly about the price of film, at $4 a sheet, it IS expensive) and said, "lets go ahead and take out the 4x5 again." I looked at the image on the web (*) and said, "I know exactly where there is a power substation in town." It is only 10 minutes away and here's the image: http://richardmanphoto.com/PICS/20150405-Scanned-893.jpg Enjoy. More on Wanda later.
