Ah! Now I know the locale.
I know the provenance of several of the contributors to this ng but
often it is a bit of a mystery. Sometimes the photographic subjects

prefixed with the country of origin (US, UK, Cy(work that one out),
etc.), but that is about the subject, not the photographer.
Just a thought.
