It is only in the microscope that our life looks so big. It is an indivisible point, drawn out and magnified by the powerful lenses of Time and Space.
Too often we see the Bible through whatever lens we get from our culture.
The bottom line always remains the same: What is the basic humanity of the character? How do I make them resonate with the reader?

We always point the lens both outward and inward.
Do I believe the execution will work out? Les Moonves said yes to Survivor based partly upon my show Eco-Challenge. He liked my way of filming outdoors. It was the first use of helicopters on a documentary with the gyro-stabilized lenses.

Taking the breath to allow that to happen rather than showing scene after scene.
She was like a camera that had been chronically out of focus until someone came by and twisted the lenses into alignment.
My lab and academic work fill my day from about 9 am to 7 p. m. Then I zoom out the lens to work on my other writing.
