My guess is Edward Weston - the subject looks very similar to that of a
portrait made by Ansell Adams.

He looks a little bit like Edward Weston. I have seen his
face, but I cannot place who he is.
My guess is that your father or uncle has the same name as
you, and took the photograph a long time ago. It is a superb
portrait, by the way.
I remembered where (I think) I've seen this face. It reminds me of the
self-portrait of Edward Steichen on the front of this book:

So, it's an Edward. Weston or Steichen. That's my guess.
No "or":s will get you this honorary PDML Quiz Degree, nor just guesses.

However your reply IS interesting, and because of it I will throw in
another card and expand the quiz a little:

The question remains "Who is the photographer?"
However, initially my advice was "Think twice!" - now it is "Think
thrice!" :-)
Let's see if this will get you or anybody any further.
Thanks,
Lasse
