Hi David,
I think the issue with your query was with the line
OPTIONAL {?nat rdfs:label ?nat_label filter (lang(?nat_label) = "en") .}
The problem was that if the photographer didn't have a P27, so ?nat wasn't bound in the previous OPTIONAL line, then when it gets to the line above, with ?nat unbound, it will then be a directive to start binding labels for the *entire database* ... which is why it is just as well that Stas turns over an egg timer for each query. :-)
The way around this is to nest the two OPTIONAL clauses, one inside the other:
OPTIONAL {?photographer wdt:P27 ?nat . OPTIONAL {?nat rdfs:label ?nat_label filter (lang(?nat_label) = "en") .} }
This should now run fine. (Provided you remember to remove the old OPTIONAL line).
All best,
James.
