See same photo here featuring notes and comment:

The man to the far left of the frame is aviator Raymond V. Morris. Aviator Charles C. Witmer is second from the right side of the frame. Both were closely associated with Glenn Curtiss.

The same photo was published in Aerial Age Weekly, July 19, 1915, p. 423. The photo, at the bottom of page 423, has a caption which states: "A group of enthusiasts taken at San Diego, Cal. From left to right, George Hallett, Raymund V. Morris, Katherine Stinson, Lieut. R.A.B. Sutton, Lieut. Jose Morrow, Lieut. Bown, Lieut. Walter R. Taliaferro." books.google.com/books?id=znbmAAAAMAAJ&printsec=front... There are some slight misidentifications in the Aerial Age caption of the photo - "Raymund V. Morris" is Raymond V. Morris, "Lieut. R.A.B. Sutton" is Redondo B. Sutton (who would come to later infamy in a 1920's swindling scheme), "Lieut. Jose Morrow" is Joseph C. Morrow, Jr., and "Lieut. Bown" is Thomas S. Bowen. Given the identity of those in the photo, this almost certainly was taken at the Curtiss Aviation School at North Island sometime in the first half of 1915.

On the far left side of the frame is Curtiss test pilot and flight instructor Raymond V. Morris (1889-1943). See: www.earlyaviators.com/emorris.htm
