Sometimes fate plays a hand when you least expect it. I met Ansel Adams for an afternoon, we discussed form and emotion in photography, I posed the question, "Why then are the images from space so emotionally boring, the astronauts are compelling, dynamic people." Ansel told me to find out... I did and the result was Sightseeing; A Space Panorama (Knopf, 1985) - we found 175,000 images the astronauts had taken that were never made public. Took a bit of detective work and pressure through Congress.

Walk, play with the dogs, read. Writer's block is not so much a problem for me... I would say the writer's equivalent of verbal diarrhea may be.

I have just completed the sequel - 1st draft - of the Tag Series #2 - sequel to The Path... Simon gets into more trouble, but his heart is good (even if he goofs sometimes).

Haha, some people have real hobbies - I write to stretch my mind.

The Path is a combination of electro-mechanical discussions with some NASA scientists relating to changes in computer infrastructure as well as the personal notion of the humor found in human behavior.
