Don McCullin

e301

Andre Kertesz

Henri Cartier Bresson

Though I have to say that there is a strange discrepancy between the kind of stuff I like looking at and the stuff I enjoy shooting.

I like A LOT of people here, but Techo always seems to catch my eye. His work seems to be more ground breaking and artistic.

Well, I don't know about "of all time" but I adore Pavel Krukov

he's #1 on my list. and i don't think he'll ever be bumped from that place....possible a very close second is Gary Knight another of the VII.

Sally Mann

She's known for the controversy from her "Immediate Family" collection more than anything.. but she's such a far-ranging and fantastic photographer of just about every subject.

Her mastery over B&W is second to none, IMO.

I honestly have to say that William Wegman (and his Weimaraners) is my favorite photographer of all time.
 02/03/2007 11:09:46 PM · #21
hmmmm... tough choice but I'd have to say Albert Watson
 02/04/2007 02:04:11 AM · #22
Erwin Olaf
