Where am I now?
This is not intended as a 'Favourite Photographers' list.
It is just a list of important photographers from the past 150 years or so. All the photographers mentioned are special for one reason or another and are all worth checking out. You might be suprised at who did what and when - and you may well find one that is an inspiration.
I will add web links as and when I find them.
Please feel free to make suggestions for photographers and sites and I will consider them for inclusion. Just remember that the photographers must be historically important.
And I'm not including the current generation of photographers because the court is still out on them.

**NB Some of the photographers here may have produced work that might shock or offend some people. Please be aware of this when trying to find work by any of them.
