If you are like me you have a number of favorite photographer sites bookmarked. I have some famous, some not so famous. But I always seem to find time to enjoy their work on liine.

Here are a couple that I like to go back to:

Mark Citret

http://www.mcitret.com/

If I'm going to chase down a link someone posted on APUG, I'm expecting it to be a link to analog work. Quote from the mcitret.com website:

For the past 3 years I have been shooting digitally

Looking at Sebastiao Salgado's work now. Really amazing.

 

[Thomas Bertilsson]

Berenice Abbott.

One I found on Flickr (not sure if he is a member here or not), a guy by the name of Andrew Kaiser (but BE WARNED - They are Nudes....and Full Frontals (but I am sure he has accepted Flickrs Policies))

-I like this side with they experiment, double exposure with old expire film or cross progressing.
-Many they looks like a painting, its something different and fresh, any way i'm tired with old fashion's and copy of the masters of photography, we need something new, this no mean i don't like HCB but without a fresh eye we are dead...

Leni Riefenstahl

I also like new ideas. I really do.

But I must say that as a photographer you must photograph what you like to photograph, and be true to yourself and your passion. The rest doesn't matter.

I'm reading an older publication called Pictorialism in America.... The Minneapolis Salon of PHotography 1932-1946 by Christian Peterson... Very interesting work by William Mortensen and Max Thorek shown in this book.. Great work indeed.

Interesting, Andy. If you like that work and Christian's writing, you should check out this book as well:
http://artsmia-museum-shop.stores.yahoo.net/qulaofwibpo.html

I own a copy of it, and you're welcome to borrow it any time you want.

Did you know Christian left the MIA?

Still enjoying Fan Ho's wonderful street photography. His book, Hong Kong Yesterday, is gorgeous.

A link in the above site takes you to a large sampling of his work.

I check in on Jay Maisel's and Pete Turner's sites - acknowledged masters and long-time favorites. Also, just picked up a copy of The Americans from Powell's Books
in Portland, OR., a seminal work from a giant in the field (and an absolutely amazing bookstore). Periodically, I pull up the Leica site to have a look at contemporary work across a range of genres. A lot of astonishing work (as well as a lot of mediocrity...).

 

[VaryaV]

Stephen Shore - American Surfaces

I absolutely love his work. and at to it:

Robert Frank - The Americans



why oh why have I let these books gather dust on my shelf?..... what masterpieces they are.... I can get lost for hours daydreaming about these pictures....

I just read an article on Slashdot that Lenoard Nimoy is retiring from showbiz and taking up photography full time:
http://entertainment.slashdot.org/story/11/10/04/1827245/spock-gives-up-the-con

I've been looking at some of his work on-line.
http://www.rmichelson.com/Artist_Pages/Nimoy/pages/Leonard-Nimoy-Gallery.html

I am not a huge Trekkie but I do enjoy watching Star Trek. Nimoy is one of my most favorite actors, not simply because he played Spock but because I think he's just a pretty cool guy. It is intriguing to find out that the avocation of one of my most favorite "cool people" is something as cool as being a photographer. That just makes him extra cool in my book.

I am fortunate enough to own a [very small] Fan Ho print, and have
met him at Modern Book a few times. A quiet man with curious eyes,
and quick smile.

In person, his prints are nothing short of stunning. 'Toned by God' as he says.
His work covers a lot of ground from thoughtful street scenes
to drop dead beautiful artistic and avant garde work...

one of my favs...

Diane Arbus Aperture Monograph.

I've never been so attracted by her pictures but reading Patrick Roegiers book about her work is really helpful to understand what she meant.

 

[Philippe-Georges]

Right now: Paul Strand in Mexico
last week, Josef Sudek monograph, the one with the gold cover!

At the moment:

Willy Ronis (FR) (Some weeks ago I bought the book, that was released when the exhibition linked below was on)
http://www.jeudepaume.org/pdf/PetitJournal_WillyRonis_GB.pdf

Christer Strömholm (SE)
http://www.stromholm.com/index2.htm

Jean Hermansson (SE) (Unfortunately he died last week)
http://translate.google.com/transla...f=1&u=http://www.tekniskamuseet.se/1/395.html

(Image google to see his work, apparently there's no website)

 

[batwister]

Something contemporary.

Please have a look at his 'South Central', 'South East' and 'Greater Atlanta' series. Would like to buy one of his books, but the prices are going through the roof.
His printing represents the key thing I love about black and white; tonality as mood.
Straight photography perfection.

Oh, and also just received Ansel Adams - Singular Images (his polaroids). Was interested to see his eye and technique in its purest form and it doesn't disappoint.

As a wild card, Andy Goldsworthy - Time. Still in the post though...
