Oh, that very photograph was a living part of my inner world as a young boy: visions of daring discoveries and inventions, and the ideal of persisting against the odds and not listening to all those conventional voices around you that say it can't be done. Seeing it here brings back powerful memories.

And yes, you are right, Daniels's image is not just a coincidental record, visually & artistically it stands on its own as a true photograph.
