That's a very interesting site, Emo.

Although I don't feel like I shoot like her at all, I've always been extremely interested in Diane Arbus and can stare at her images for a long time. I'm fascinated by the "freaks" (her words, not mine). Her images sometimes remind me of stills from B movies with very indie plots and strange characters that don't always make sense.
I'm having a hard time find a site that shows her work, otherwise I'd post it!
Also, I'm not a big landscape fan, but Christopher Burkett does some darn fine work. His website is www.christopherburkett.com
Of course, his images are 100 times better in real life. The images on the website don't even come close! My favorite image is http://www.christopherburkett.com/pages/home.html
Someday when I've made my millions (haha) I'm going to get it!

As for the most inspiring, I would have to say Harold Edgerton, the inventor of the "splashing milk drop" picture. He opened up a world that could not have been seen had it not been for his photography and technilogical advancements. And I don't mean just simple things like splashing milk drops, I mean things like the split second, dozen foot fireball of an ATOMIC BOMB.

And honestly, what's prettier than a splashing drop of milk?

thanks for the info, I saw some pictures of Harold Edgerton. He is scientific photographer. A master of shutter speed.

Denis Olivier and Emmanuel Correia. They are both into the same style of photogprahy and it's like.. yoga for the eyes. Very relaxing to look at. I'm gonna try out that style, for I really really really like it.

And then, probably the koolest photographer I know: Scott Irvine!
He's just a genious, it's as simple as that. And all the stuff he does in the darkroom is amazing.

Don McCullin, not his war photos but the ones in England such as in his book Homecoming. I have similar emotions regarding photographing people to the ones he describes in his book.
You also can't forget Bert Hardy for his humanist approach.
