  2. Hello, mort! You or someone else wrote that recently - Is there a book out or a website I can look at? I have only come across writings that state many thought they knew who the photographer was, but no one had conclusive proof....Yes, Les Demi Dieux was out of NYC - Brooklyn, I believe. Thank you for taking time to write! Michael

  3. The internet suggests that Fitzgerald owned a studio in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn and was responsible for the LDD output. For example:

  4. Wow, mort! Truly extraordinary - just for the images themselves. But I am not yet convinced this site by itself has located the elusive photographer. Best regards, Michael
