This is from a draft of a Leica photographers' book currently in preparation! "Lluis Ripoll Querol, Barcelona I?m very proud to say that I was born in Reus. Reus was not a big town in 1943, but it was a centre of intense cultural activity. I?m known on the Leica Users? Group (LUG) as Lluis (Catalan vorname) or Luis (Spanish). I?m a Catalan in Spain. In Spain the first surname (Ripoll) has come from my father?s name and the second (Querol), from my mother. Most commonly, I?m simply known as Lluis Ripoll of Barcelona."

Lluis, I would enjoy seeing an explanation of why you have written your name so many diferent ways. For a few years it was "Luis Ripoll" and then it was "Lluis Ripoll" and now it's "Lluis Ripoll Querol". Is "Querol" a matronymic? Is "Lluis" a nickname? Is "Lluis" pronounced the same as "Luis" or does the "ll" combination have a "y" sound? _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
