MattxMosh...is to roadkill what Ansel is to landscapes. Legendary.

He also doubles as the most prolific knob jockey.

Every new issue of Rangefinder has new an inspiring photogs that you've likely never heard of.

Other than that, here on TPF......... Chiller is the best. You newbies have no idea. Check out the old threads in The Dark Side. I hope the images are still available.

Oh yes, I forgot to put Chiller in my list.

Probably not a popular opinion but the reason I became interested in photography was because I caught American Masters Annie Leibovitz: Life through a Lens. It was the first time I truly understood tat photography was more than just capturing an image.
