[alt-photo] Re: Neilsen/Nelson

Mark you're thinking of my 'partner in crime' Eric Neilsen.  You're not the
first or last to get us mixed up.

Years ago before the internet, when I heard there was someone with nearly
the same name as myself doing the same type of alt work as me, I decided we
should definitely meet up on my then yearly trip to the southwest.  We've
stayed connected ever since.

So to answer your question, Eric is in Texas and I'm in Chicago.
