"Sometimes I bring my hosts or the workers inside the camera and have
them see the projected image on the opposite wall. And so often they
just don’t blink an eye—it doesn’t mean anything to them. And that’s
another fascinating experience for me: one of the most impressive things
I’ve ever seen in my life isn’t amazing to somebody else. The first
time I created a camera obscura, after I had realized how long I had to
sit in there to adjust my eyes to the darkness, to see the projection,
which is about 20 or 30 minutes—I thought I’d seen God. When I saw the
first projection, it was an epiphany. It was probably one of the most
overwhelming moments of my life. "
