Interested in finding out about the giants and legends and heroes in the photography world. Whose work should I seek out? Any good modern day photographers? How about photographers from the past? Essential books and collections?

    +1!

    Adams, Richard Avedon & Annie Liebovitz are my 3 favorite classics!

    I workshopped with Zack. Incredibly nice guy. An amazing artist, his photographs are great. He gave me alot of guidance in my photography and has helped me see the best way to capture a landscape.

    EDIT: Link doesn't work. Weird. Anyways, look him up on Flickr. Stunning.

    i've always loved the feel of this guys photos... graintastic. :thumbup:
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.
