So you want to know: Who is this guy and what qualifies him to write about complex outer space stuff anyway?

The answers are 1) nobody, and 2) nothing.

I am not a rocket scientist or a physicist, self-taught or otherwise. I am not now, nor have I ever been, a member of the U.S. Government. I don't even live in the States.

My education was in English literature and the humanities, because those courses are impossible to fail.

I have a camera and I like to play with it, but I have no training in photography and little experience. Most of my pictures range from mediocre to terrible. (Can't you tell?)

I earn a pretty good living by word processing, business writing, and editing for those who think there's something inherently difficult about putting together pieces of alphabet. I don't want to tell more because that would sound like advertising and I'm trying to avoid more work. Desperately trying.

Opinions? I have lots of opinions which I won't burden you with (unless you ask). But mainly I think it's kind of cool that twelve humans have walked on another world, and I rather resent having a crew of self-styled "experts" trying to rain on their parade. Especially when the "proof" they dredge up is so cheesy and childishly easy to refute.

My point is, if even an unskilled and semi-educated nonentity like I can figure out these funny Moon pictures, then anybody can. Discovering a simpler reason for these illusions is a little like duplicating a magician's mind-reading act. I might not be able to explain exactly how these photo "anomalies" happened, but if I can reproduce them without bells or whistles or dark conspiracies, then I feel I can show what a flimsy case the Apollo deniers really have. Then we can wonder just who is defrauding whom.
