Andre Kertesz - an amazing eye.  Just think of the technology he had
available to him.  His distortions were revolutionary.  Quite a remarkable
photographer.

Also...
Walker Evans
Robert Frank
Sebastiao Salgado
Bernice Abbott
Imogen Cunningham
Hiroshi Watenabe (He's fairly new)
Jack Spencer

Sorry... there are too many.

Dave

Subject: [Leica] Favorite Photographers


Hello LUG'ers--

Time to talk about art, about photography, about seeing and looking and the
pleasures of a good picture.

I'm interested in knowing who your favorite photographers are, or
photographers whose work you find compelling, whatever their genre, whatever
their state of being, living or immortal. Which photographers do you admire?
Whose work do you follow? And if you had the chance, is there a living
photographer you'd like to have a conversation with, or to interview, if you
had the chance? Who would that be?

I'll start the ball rolling with a few of mine (there are dozens, but these
are a few of my favs), and maybe others will follow.

1) James Nachtwey
2) Sally Mann
3) Paolo Pellgrin
4) Mary Ellen Mark
5) Ilkka Uimonen
