So, I think that teachers that are long dead are still managing to teach. IMO, we should encourage the continual self study by diving into the ways of the "old masters", and perhaps it will be, that through such form of learning, many will find their own eye, so to speak.

Better said than me, thanks.
I "got" the question but didn't want to start another guru seeking movement.
Photographic Influence - Who are they today?
Kim Weston, Mr. and Mrs Smith, Sean, Ole, Scott, Dr. Harter, they all influence. I have seen some of their photographs on the Internet and it provides me with some knowledge of what other people are doing out there. It's interesting but I still do my own work. If I didn't want to make my own visions I would be a collector. Photographic Influence? The Internet, TV, printed media to name a few.
The greater point is how does this influence affect your work.
