Notable: Smeggy's Dubai 1986

I'm not entirely sure who Smeggy is.  There is no About page or bio data at his bulletin board. It seems he was a member of a pop band that did a couple of tours of the UAE in the mid-late 1980's.  Smeggy was also apparently a decent photographer and has posted galleries of several hundred photos from these tours.  The images are well scanned and cleaned-up and for anyone who has visited Dubai in the last five years something of an eye-opener.  I spent at least an hour mesmerized by these images.  Usually I flip through something like this quickly, but something about these image kept me click-click-clicking one after the other.
