Same thing to animals.
Well, one of the things that has always fascinated me personally was the fact that...
All of us, or the three of us, most certainly had major changes in the direction of our lives and our artwork after the Allagash, where I was training myself to be a school teacher to work with children teaching art.
I ended up becoming a medical artist, working with medical scientists, medical researchers, and being aware of all kinds of new technologies that
technology I mentioned that they use to look at our chests or at our torsos when I was a medical photographer I would use ultraviolet light sources and ultraviolet film infrared film and infrared light sources to photograph human bodies because
With ultraviolet light, you can see through the skin and see the blood vessels much clearer than you can with your naked eyes.
So we use magnetic fields to look inside the human body now to look at soft tissue.
Your eyes.
Your MRIs.
Prior to that was your x-rays and then CAT scans.
Then you can use ultrasound, sonic waves.
All these different radiological tools.
So I was talking with a physician about this.
And, uh, and he said, well, he said, that's just like when, you know, uh, defibrillators first showed up in the world, you know, they were these, you know, experimental paddles that you touch the heart or,
you know, to restart the heart's function.
And that all of these technologies that these beings have were slowly catching up.
I mean, if you stop and any rational person stop and think, in 1903, which was 123 years ago,
two bicycle builders from Ohio did the first manned flight.
Not a glider.
They weren't gliding from a high elevation to a different elevation or a different location.
