Need Help with Photographer Signature

Wasn't sure where to post this since it is obviously not antique. I am hoping someone might recognize the photographer's siggy...I just can't make it out. Anyone familiar with it? I bought this because it is an original photograph, signed by the artist and framed in a super duper (but kind of ugly) frame that weighs at least 5 lbs, maybe more. And I am curious, plus it's Tuesday. The area of the picture is 17" W x 10.5" H; the frame overall is about 24" W x 20" H. Hope this is okay here...thanks for looking! My apologies that the photograph of the photograph itself is so awful...

 

Monterey ? Montgomery ?

 

Oooooooooohhh... I'm no help. Maybe ask one of our photo-enhancing brainiacs to experiment???

 

I think the first name is Xavier, last name starts with M. But more than that, I cannot see.

 

Wenna... forgive me for topic-straying, but... your eyes are so pretty. What IS that color? Mother-of-pearl?

 

Yes, that's about all I'm getting too. Maybe I'll take the photo out so I can see it better. It's a complicated frame but the mat has some discoloration so I guess I won't be hurting anything.

 

Thanks GG! My eyes are blue/grey-blue depending on the light. I've noticed them be that color once in a while in real life but it doesn't happen too often...but I can't actually see them most of the time so who knows?

 

I think the photograph is probably a one-off by an amateur. He took a picture he liked, so he had it enlarged and framed. Nice that it's signed, but I doubt the signature is consequential.

 

Nice enhancing tyeldom!!

 

Xamm Mitarbul?

 

I thought "Xamm Mitarbul" before seeing Ms. Fig's post!
I didn't find any Mitarbuls, but Xamm is a street slang tem for somebody who is talented at vicious raps, or sometimes a life-of-the-party type.

 

I was kind of joking, but ... maybe great minds are thinking alike again! It's good to know that Xamm has a meaning.

 

I am always pleased to have something scholarly to contribute...

 

Thanks all for the input! I knew it was a long shot but you never know...!
