When I started the MA in Fine Arts a couple of years ago I had difficulty in thinking of a theme where I could bring my photography skills and knowledge into a Fine Arts setting. In the third week the tutors told me about the work of artists I could easily relate to and I was hooked, a scientist could dabble in the arts.
