Quiz #7

Quiz #7 is a spinoff of quiz #4. Below are eleven sets of photographers who share the same initials, listed by birth date and birth place. Your task is to identify the photographers. For example if the clue was 1937, Orange, NJ and 1923, NYC, the solution would be Robert Adams and Richard Avedon (both RA). Correctly identify all names and a free print is yours. Good luck.

That last clue was by me, Blake Andrews. Not sure why it shows "Contact" for my identity.

I'm glad you had fun, Wolf. Congrats on your correct answer and on becoming an official nerd. I'll get a print to you this week, and not just a silly work print this time.
