Ansel Adams is my all time favorite photographer. His black and white nature photographs take my breath away. I like the depression and dust bowl photos of Margaret Bourke-White. She spoke to me of the human condition during these hard times.

Annie Leibovitz, Ansel Adams, and Yousuf Karsh... Karsh for his iconic portraits. :)

@miranda Do you remember a couple of years ago when someone posted a Bresson on Flickr, as a joke to see if anyone would recognize his work. All sorts of folks logged on and preceded to criticize and tear apart the photo. Funny.
