/> Q. Have you and "Star Trek” reached a new generation of fans? Or is it a case of old fans returning to the fold? A. Many new fans. We are now spanning several generations.

Has anything surprised you about the reception of the new movie, and have you attended any "Star Trek” conventions since the release of the film? A. I’ve just appeared at a convention in London. I’m not surprised. I was confident when I read the script and totally impressed with Mr. Abrams’ work as a director. Q. In the new film, Spock, not Kirk, gets the girl ... and it’s Uhura. What did you think about that plotline? A. Wonderful, daring idea. I’m jealous. Q.

I will have a solo exhibition at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art next year. Images can be seen on my Web site, leonardnimoyphotography. com. Click on "The Identity Project.” Q.
