Today, the world was saddened to learn of the death of Leonard Nimoy.  While Nimoy may have been best known for playing Mr. Spock on Star Trek, he was also an acclaimed photographer who published three collections — Shekhina, The Full Body Project, and Secret Selves — of his work.  Nimoy’s work has been exhibited at the R. Michelson Galleries in Northampton, Massachusetts and the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art.  Nimoy described himself as being primarily a conceptual artist and his work explored issues of body image and his own Jewish heritage.
