Do we care about the people, our family, health, or is it achievement, success, all this stuff?

So my job, then, is to use photography as a communication tool, to help bridge the gap between the science and the aesthetics, to get people talking, to get them thinking, and to hopefully, ultimately, get them caring.

So if you look at honeybees, and this is a slowed down video, they're so small, the inertia is so lightweight -- (Laughter) that they don't care -- they bounce off my hand, for example.
