He taught me a lot of what I know of darkroom work. He had long since given up the practice but got me started when I was 12 or 13. I on the other hand probably tried when my kids were too young since neither has taken up the hobby.

(Missiles need a lot of math to hit their target properly, and their nose-cones need a lot of math to avoid melting from the heat of rushing through the air). But he also taught me and my brothers about photography and darkroomery. He was Dr Reid (as, come to think of it, am I) but his was a doctorate in mathematics and mine is in computer science. > > One of the greatest joys in my life has been helping my daughters learn photography and darkroom technique.
