SMART GUY

So have you ever met a genius? Well I just did the other day. I shot a photo for a Vancouver magazine of Carl Wieman. He was the 2001 Nobel prize winner in Physics. When I made it to C.U. the other day, I was very curious to see what this guy was like. Was he going to be working on formulas as we were shooting? Would he be the type of nerdy guy that wouldn't come out of his office? Or was he going to be smart guy that knew he was smarter than everyone else around him, especially the photographer? Well he turned out to be a very nice guy. He was busy, calling people, reading papers as I was setting up. You could tell he was working in his head, and couldn't wait to be done so that he could get back to his office and write it all down. I did get my 7 minutes with him in front of my camera, so that was good. I guess the main thing I figured out while I was there was that I am really glad that I went to Art school.
