I notice that this "fantastic" news comes from England.
On a serious note: Anybody have a serious clue as to why
the huge popularity of photography in England as compared
to the U.S.?

England is a country with about 1/6 the population of the U.S., but if
you check at the news stand, you will find more photo magazines
printed in England than printed in the U.S. I subscribed to "EOS"
magazine published in England for many years. I was impressed
with the large number of photographic dealers as compared to the
U.S.
