Excellent ?in situ? portraits, Kyle, but they?re by you, and that?s your 
forte (or one of them), so no surprise there. I was particularly impressed, 
and pleased, that you were invited to photograph them, as astronomy has been 
my principal hobby for over 50 years.

I was even more pleased to see that one of your subjects (in 3D yet!) was 
(Dr) Brian May. Call me crazy, but somehow the world just seems a slightly 
better place because one of the founding and enduring members of one of the 
all-time great rock groups is also an actual PhD astrophysicist.
