CURRENT MISSION

figure out how to make the movies i want to make research in high energy physics, + in general, learn more about everything and everyone

ABOUT ME

I have a wide variety of interests but my, of late, intense study of physics has diminished my capability for easy and natural conversation. I am afraid of turning into the quintessential science geek. But, actually, even more recently I've decided to try and become a film director - slowly, over the last few years, my interest in film and expression in it has grown, and I've made some 16mm shorts, and am now continuing in that exploration.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Some amazing moments?
One time I was in a reserve named El Cielo, north of Tampico in Mexico. When we got to the top of the mountain after many miles of walking, after some miles of a rickety truck driving us around cliffs, it was nighttime and we settles into a small cabin (the only one up there. if you walked further it was a handful of huts, some rivers, and if you walked another 6km there was a small village with another handful of houses and a no-longer in service school (all the kids had graduated and moved away)). That night, before sleep, there was a huge thunderstorm, and we were so close and the drops so big that everytime there was lightning, you could see the drops nearly frozen in their falling motion... a weird and beautiful highlight of time through motion.
