Futurists, PoMo's Leica shooters, Women, general subject matter, who they hung with, who they were influenced by, titles of some of their more well known images, the ones I like, which enlarger lens they use; you name it! I'm a list maker!!! Yea. Got no problem with the ones pre 20th, or pre 21st either! I might put some thumbnail images of theirs in a field! Mark Rabiner born is died is already in there; their dates!
