keeping it safe for work ;)
tell me your top photographer and why.
I'm trying to work out what makes people tick when it comes to different photographers.

gregory crewsdon - for story telling/lynchian influence
joel peter witkin - for freaks
andreas gursky - similar sensibilities/vision
walker evans - prolific
hiromix - disposable

I've met hiromix, she's a real diva albeit incredibly sassy.

friedlander apparently kept a 55 gallon drum like container next to his front door and whenever he came into to his apatrment in NYC he would drop all his exposed film into this drum. When he died there were some 3,000 rolls in it.

I know its totally cliche, but lately i've been inspired by ansel adams.
I was reading this guy's site:
http://www.kenrockwell.com/index…He's a really good and experienced photographer and he quotes ansel adams all the time on there. The stuff Ansel says is timeless. I really admire his commitment to learn and master a new medium to tell a story. I ordered his autobiography used on amazon for less that $5 including shipping. It should arrive today! I'll let you know how i like it, but Ken Rockwell seems to think it rocks.
