Leonard Nimoy, photographer
Leonard Nimoy, who most sci-fi fans knew as the unflappable Mr Spock on the original Star Trek series, died today [the 27th of february, ndr], aged 83. But the man who made the phrase “Live long and prosper” famous was also a dedicated artist and poet, and his photographic series range from exploring people’s hidden “other” lives (“Secret Selves”) to an appreciation of the varying forms of the human body (“The Full Body Project”).
