My first encounter with photography took place when my father performed some strange static dances with an object in front of his face. Later he would close himself up in a special room under the house for long periods of time, and no one was allowed in. My mother diligently made sure that he was left to his own devices while inside. One day I was given permission to enter the room and allowed to stay, but on the condition that I didn't move or went out. I remember there was a unique chemical perfume and a red light..
