James Pelton’s Interests:

Despite being employed by one, live theater still fascinates me. Art, technology and I also collide in grey-scale quadtone photography. And as soon as I can explain to my daughter what a samovar is, she'll give me back my Anton Chekhov. She's three, so I may need to find something else to read.
