Is it their style of work, the methods they use, or the work, itself?

This one's been extremely popular, I see. A recent poster threw a whole bunch of names at me, so I thought this one would provide an open door ....

Photographer Jim Loc: Rio Vista, CA

Guy Tal. Exceptional landscape photographer. Very knowledgeable about human perception and how it relates to composition. I think of him as a “zen” photographer. My favorite photographer working today.

Brooks Jensen. Founder and editor of Lensworks magazine. His book “Letting Go of the Camera” provided great food for thought about the creative process.

David Muench. Well known landscape photographer famed for his fabulous images of the American Southwest. Made “near-far” compositions his signature. His son Marc has become a well known expert in the areas of printing, post-processing, and HDR.

Jack Dykinga fits right in here. Like Muench, famous for his images of the Southwest.

I am typically influenced by older photographic movements, primarily the photographers of the Bauhaus, Italian Futurists, Surrealists and Russian Constructivists, however, I am of course influenced by contemporary photographers.

Michael Peven. He was my mentor in college. He influenced much of my philosophical and conceptual thinking as well as giving me much of my technical foundation. He had a fanstastic knowledge of photographic history and he always knew exactly whose work I should be looking at. http://www.michaelpeven.com/

Crystal Mcbrayer: Another of my professors. Her work and thinking has heavily influenced me.

Dornith Doherty: Her work continues to influence me. Her use of scientific processes and equipment is what has drawn me to her work. In particular my favorite works of her's are her lenticular seed collage images.

Hiroshi Sugimoto: His work influenced much of my thoughts on time and the properties of reality. In particular his theaters series has influenced me the most. However, lately I have been more interested in his diorama photographs and lightning fields.

Michael Kenna: His use of heavy shadows influenced me. In particular I am draw to his night work.

Todd Hiddo: His night work had a major influence on me. While I do not work in color that often, I find the mood in his work and his use of color fascinating.

Kris ... so far, the only one of those I've been able to get to is the Michael Kenna one ... and that's not saying much (Just a b/w Comet pic and the name) ....

Oh, I see ... was looking for an index, or list of contents, or something ....

And, what about the others?

Have you checked them all, lately?

Darkroom317 Loc: Mishawaka, IN

Yes. Right before I posted them

Oh, okay, then, Kris ... perhaps, I'm doing something wrong, then ....

I'll give it another go ...

Are they all here - Stateside?

Marc Adamus. Dykinga is nice, but Adamus goes to much greater lengths to get his photos. For example he has pulled a sled full of equipment and cross country skied and snowshoed for weeks around Crater Lake National Park in the winter. Hikers and backpackers do tings like that, but photographers usually don't work that hard to take their equipment to places where others don't go.

His photography is excellent, but I'm much more influenced by his work ethic and his willingness to totally commit to getting the shot.

Not having a whole lotta luck with any of the others, Kris ....

Got Dornith's headliner ... never went beyond that, though ...

And I got to Mark's page, alright ... but, then - that wasn't YOUR link ....

I'll keep trying, though ...

Thanks, again, Kris ....
