I think there was a PBS American Masters on Robert Capa.

Sally Mann, some of Annie Liebovitz, Mark Selinger, Cartier-Brasson, Richard Avadon. There are a few contemporary children's photographer's that I admire quite a bit.

Cappa, Cartier-Bresson, McCurry, Adams: yeah - Capronigro...
But 'big-name' photographers aren't the only ones I admire... There are lots of photographers out there who make great images...
Some on this forum I admire...

I'm a big fan of H.H. Bennet. He was the first to take a stop-action photograph, back in 1886, of his son Ashley jumping Stand Rock in Wisconsin Dells.

Hmmm ... did the next image show Ashley falling between the rocks? Oh wait, he couldn't have changed plates that fast ...

 

[keedokes]

I know, doesn't it look like he missed? But, no--he made it! It took him a ton of tries to get it right, but Ashley ends up surviving and giving the man grandkids eventually.
