In 2010, I had the opportunity to interview Brian May - but not about music! And not about astrophysics (at the age of 60, he famously completed his PhD, which he had been working on before he got busy as guitarist for Queen).
Since childhood, Brian May has been fascinated by stereoscopy or 3D photography - particularly the work of some of the great Victorian stereophotographers. His passion was so great that he ultimately resurrected the original London Stereoscopic Company, and became a modern publisher of books of stereoscopy.
In 2010, with the release of "A Village Lost and Found," the first book from LSC, he and his co-author Elena Vidal gave a presentation at Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles. Before his talk, I had a few minutes to speak with him about the book and his passion for stereoscopy.
