Our services

Putting our expertise in physical science, venerable technology and technical communication to work for you:

Explanation

We are awash in information these days but it is often scattered and confused, sometimes difficult to understand if you’re not an expert.  We can pull together a concise explanation to make complex subjects clear.  Capturing Color in Photography is one example.  More on Explanation

Evaluation

If you don’t have an expert’s background, sometimes you’re forced to take an announced result in a technical field on faith (or not).  We can use well-developed tools in science and mathematics to evaluate the matter, putting science at your service.  More on Evaluation

Use that camera!

Or slide rule, or sextant, or. . .

You may have a serious historical interest in venerable technology, or perhaps you’re just curious about that intriguing device back there in the storage closet.  We can show you how they work and have them functioning in your hands, whether you decide to go back to your iPhone after one roll of film or continue with a different way of doing things.  If you don’t have an example on hand we can provide several options.  This person-to-person service is only available in the Washington, DC area so far.  Update: due to the corona virus pandemic, this in-person service has been suspended.  We con provide advice and directions by remote means.  More on venerable technology
