We are on page 11 of this thread and I find it almost incomprehensible that W. Eugene Smith has been mentioned only one time. In my opinion (and many others) he was one of the greatest ( if not THE greatest) photojournalist of the 20th century.
I have seen a theme here and most seem to lean toward landscape or portrait artists. I do not believe many photojournalist were mentioned overall. I enjoyed viewing his work though, thanks for sharing.

I will ask you to indulge me here as I am going to fantasize! I have to say...
Ansel Adams.
Also, Neil Armstrong, He was not a Photographer as such, however, he did take the first photographs on the Moon!

Even if the choice were limited to just this forum the decision to pick “one” would be tough enough...but I have often thought the one person I would love to shoot with is Mike Black. Mike has treated us with the results of his talent in thousands of posts, and somehow maintained an almost humble gratitude the we’ve “liked” them. Without question there is a lot of refined talent displayed on these pages that deserve credit, but Mike is as good as I’ve seen.
I do like your name -- I too am Snaphappy!

One very important name that I haven't seen listed here, is that of Ernst Haas.

There have truly been a good number of excellent photographers mentioned on this thread. I have looked but haven't found mention of John Shaw. Let's not forget him. Also, a quick shout-out for Greg Lawson, a very talented photographer in Sedona. If you are in the area,stop by his gallery.

I am so thankful to everyone who contributed to this feed. Y'all have kept me pretty busy googling artists that I was not familiar with and viewing galleries that were absolutely stunning.
I just wanted to share...yesterday I took a little time out of my tax prep work and shot a picture so I could try doing a Kelly Robitaille style image, but make it my own. I spent about 4 hours late last night on the edit and posted it to a Facebook group and SHE commented on my photo!! I love her brilliantly creative mind and her editing skills are pretty amazing, some of her work is darker than what I tend to do but her talent is pretty impressive none-the-less. So I am pretty happy at the moment! And I am really happy with my first try also. I had issues with the frequency separation and dodge and burn parts but the rest of it, I think, came together pretty well. Excited to get better and experiment more with this style. I was thinking about sharing it in the post processing area for some suggestions on improvements, and help with the fs and d&b...

Kelly Robitaille? ... Using computer... Oh! Yes I have seen her work on Fstoppers.
Well congratulations! That is an impressive accomplishment. You may have found a mentor. (She may not know that she is a mentor). But good for you! We all need inspiration, and occasional encouragement too.

Thanks, it was a happy moment. I saved a snap shot, I guess that makes me a "KR" groupie.
