Re: Your usernames...

Emettman...
Well I am I suppose. The source of a major hobby and collection: the work of the cartoonist, artist, and kinetic sculptor Rowland Emett.
Not widely known, these days.

PictureTrail - Gallery
YouTube - Dream Machines


Artistic relatives to Emett? Heath Robinson, Rube Goldberg, perhaps.
The latter now something of a Japanese obsession:

Re: Your usernames...

Mine is the surname of the villain from Final Fantasy VI, one of my favourite games of all time - Kefka Palazzo. My real name is Ian.

That is a really cool picture by the way Culnara, a really beautiful scene.

Re: Your usernames...

Kaz and Boot were names my mates called me at school, so I put them together!

I felt I should also explain that Kaz is short for Karen and Boot is short for Booth, my maiden name.

You lucky thing Culnara! What a beautiful place.

I'm finding it fascinating reading these posts about usernames.
