Paul Strand
Edward Weston

Arnold Newman (even tho I am not a portrait photographer - I just love his work)
And I have to say that Francesco's work has been inspiring me to start lugging my 4x5 equipment out to look for worthy images again.

Couldn't find much on the web in the way of representative work. These are but a poor reflection of his brilliance. River of Colour is an unqualified masterpiece.

The results so far are great, I've really enjoyed seeing all these new websites and the work of photographers I didn't even know about. I'm curious about some of the choices of our friends from downunder (Australia, New Zealand) would make.

There are so many who inspire me to go out and shoot and for as many different reasons. To name a few who spring to mind and in no particular order.
Horst.
Karsh.
H-C-B
Erwitt (Love the dogs)
Mapplethorpe for the flowers
Weston
Stephen Dalton (High speed flash)
Adams
Eamon mccabe
Brandt
Bailey (even though he's sold out to Olympus or canon?)
Tina mcclelland (Her self portraits are very thought provoking.)
Hipgnosis (Album covers)
Doisneau
And the list could go on. and on
As much as I admire many photographers here I'd like to mention Cheryl Jacobs on the list. I can't put it into words but her work with children has a special something that makes it stand out, to my mind at any rate.
Cheers
Martin
