There's a good reason for identifying "Collection of..." along with the
photographer's name, especially if it's an old photo and the photographer
is deceased.  I get about one e-mail a week from people asking if I have
more caption information from certain photos identified as being from my
collection, or if I have any additional photos of that piece of equipment
or location.
