Personal hobbies/interests:

• Projective geometry.
• perspective (photographic lighting, perspective drawing, etc.),
• On the Light.er side, a humorous look at video surveillance cameras in the context of darkness, the absence of light that they cast over us (April Fool's research paper, April 1, 1995).
• Electronic flashlamps (take a look at one just before ignition, and during) and remembering `Doc', stopping time, and noting the passage of time in a place where time seems to stand still.

• NetCam: A portable link between cyberspace and ``lightspace''.
• Video
• Amateur radio
• A little bit of athletic activity such as running in the evenings and volleyball outside on the grass on nice warm sunny days.
