Leonard Nimoy, who is famous for other things as well, will be opening his "first solo photography show at a major museum," this week, according to the NYT.
Mr. Nimoy is 79.
(Maybe if you're a really young artist, this is more dis- than encouraging? Hope not!)
LOL @ Teh Purist:
... and in the early 70’s he studied at the University of California, Los Angeles, with Robert Heinecken, a conceptual photographer so rigorous, Mr. Nimoy said recently, that he thought if you happened to see a body falling from the sky, you would be wrong to take a picture of it unless you were already embarked on a study of objects moving through space. Anything else was mere photojournalism.
Anyway, the show will be at Mass MoCA in North Adams, Massachusetts. Here's what they say about it:

[Update] Western Mass gossip: Our agent at Jacob's Pillow advises Nimoy was in attendance this past weekend. Sadly, our agent was caught in a transporter beam, and so therefore was unable to deliver the greeting.
