Sorry about the double post, but check out

Most influential photographers :
In p-ast the great ones and are still great to study and think on: Ansel Adams, Edward Weston and his sons, Then Henri Cartier Bresson and many more. Lately, William Eggleston, Garry Winogrande. Strange I know. :confused-not sure.....

I've been contemplating this question for some time, now. My only answer is "All photographers inspire me", in some way.
I can't really separate photography into niches: I haven't seen a photographer whose work I *totally* reject -- even some really "fresh" students-- and I don't blindly accept the total work of *any* photographer.
Possibly the least inspiring work is that of some of the "Super Camera Club" Brahmins... who thrive on being thought of as "expert" in their tight little circles - and in their own minds. I am violating my own rule of avoiding stereotypes here, in trying to describe what seems to be, invariably, stiff, emotion-less "formulaic" work, with very little originality.
Even at that, there is *something* there that deserves some attention, if for nothing else than their slaving dedication to conformity, for years and years, so that they may gain acceptance in the eyes of their peers.
I guess I'll have to paraphrase Will Rogers ... "I've never met a [photographer whose work] I [always] did not like".
