The other six founding members of Group f/64 were:
- Imogen Cunningham;
- John Paul Edwards;
- Sonya Noskowiak;
- Henry Swift;
- Willard Van Dyke;
- Edward Weston;
At the group’s first showing, Preston Holder, Consuela Kanaga, Alma Lavenson, and Brett Weston also exhibited photographs.
The group was founded because the entire group had a similar focus (pun intended) in the photographic style characterized by sharp-focused and carefully-framed images, from a Western US viewpoint.
f/64 itself refers to a small aperture setting on a camera.

In case anyone’s curious, Merriam-Webster says:
Note the “usually”. Alliteration can start with a vowel.
Your quiz about rud Kipling ,. You said KiplingER. .not Kipling…what’s up?
To clarify: this is a fan site. It was not my “quiz”.
However: The clue was about Kiplinger Magazine, not Rudyard Kipling the author.
