It's all down to the eye of the beholder as usual, I much prefer Robert to
Ansel, along with Eggleston, Sternfeld, Meyerowitz (to some extent),
Basilico, Killip, Geoffrey James and Martin Parr, Walker Evans, Atget

It almost seems like an either or thing - people either like the above (or
similar) or  they like Ansel, HCB, Weston (actually, a crossover), Haas,
Gene Smith or Salgado

PS It should probably be Misrach reminds you of Adams, as he is something of
the second generation of New Topographics style photographers
