The "heroic" period. You know, all those photographers we admire so much. Eugene Atget, Robert Capa, Eugene Smith, Ansel Adams, Carlton Watkins, Timothy O'Sullivan, etc., etc.. . . It's a very long list. I don't see anyone taking their place in the pantheon. The professor, BTW, was at ICP, New York. Not a great photographer but a great teacher. He did have an MFA if that matters to you.

It's true that there have been great teachers who weren't great photographers.

I won't say that Minor White was less-than-great as a photographer, but I think he was, more importantly, a great teacher at RIT...he inspired/created many fine photographers several of whom were in turn important to me. I won't comment on MFA as that gets me in trouble.

IMO photography is always (and inherently) expanding its "pantheon"...not taking anybody's place.
