Dr. NakaMats’s Meals

Dr. Yoshiro NakaMats, an eccentric 78-year-old Japanese inventor who claims 3,000 patents to his name, has spent the last 36 years photographing and analyzing his every meal. For this work, he was awarded a 2005 Ig Noble Prize for Nutrition. Dr. NakaMats is pictured above coming up with new ideas underwater. From an interview with Dr. NakaMats in Ping Magazine:
How do you ‘trigger’ an invention?
A lack of oxygen is very important.
A lack? Isn’t that dangerous??
It’s very dangerous. I get that Flash just 0.5 sec before death. I remain under the surface until this trigger comes up and I write it down with a special waterproof plexiglas writing pad I invented.
