I'll try to find a link to his bio, but you can google him to get a feel of just how terrific-a-photographer he was.

My favorite photographers are more of the modern photographers. I really like the Style of James Nader. His fashion work is superb.

Also Gian Marco Marano, superb black and white body work photography...wonderful quality of work,

of course the great Ansel Adams who has inspired most of us.

Ansel Adams, David Muench, and Galen Rowell, because of their amazing landscapes, because they had the patience and single mindedness to do what I can not. Henri Cartier-Bresson for his immaculate timing. A friend of mine, Ray Yaros, from New Jersey, because he keeps trying to do it as well as, or maybe a tiny bit better than all the above. And everyone who ever produces an image that makes me go "Oooooh"!

Matthew Brady. More for what he shot than how. He brought the horrors of war right into the living room and with it, dimmed a lot of the 'glory' of war.
Ansel Adams. More for his patience than anything else.

Did anyone ever know John Netherton, from Nashville? He passed away a couple of years ago but was recognized as a great nature photog. I lived in Nashville for a short time and met him and went on a couple of his nature "outings" Wonderful guy and a fantastic photog.

He's got other sites that show his work but this is a good place to start.

I love photojournalism (as well as Ansel Adams, etc., etc.) But I've long been attracted to the work of Robert Capa. And I always chuckle when I think of one of his best observations: "If your photographs aren't good enough, you're not close enough."

that was just remarkable, and if I may add, H Carter-Bresson did everything in-camera, not even so much as to crop a print. My runaway favorite, too.

I would put the late Galen Rowell right up there as a contemporary Ansel Adams. Wonderful outdoor and nature photographer and mountaineer.

I like Ansel Adams and Galen Rowell as well, but prefer the subject matter of Jim Brandenburg and Bob Talbot.

An artist might, but I doubt a photographer would.
