What a plethora of riches. Thank you all for your contributions.

I went to class tonight all fired up to share my enthusiasm for Vivian, but as soon as I said her name, my instructor launched into his own (laudatory) spiel about her and I never got to say a word.

Oh well, the important thing is that word is getting out. Vive Vivian!

Bill Atkinson. Not only does he produce great nature photography (I like the Rocks images), but he also wrote the original QuickDraw graphics code for the Apple Macintosh, as well as MacPaint and HyperCard.

I love rock, so that is a find; thank you, Paul.

There are so many linked here I can't think of any to add.
Here's something to think about though, these photos are being criticised just like some (other) online photography resources.

Those are hilarious, Jonathan. A great reminder that rules are made to be broken. Thanks for the link!

Beautiful images, and a fascinating collection of articles, too. Thank you, Harald. Do you use his filters?

[hmiller]

Hi Janis,

no I do not use his filters, but I soak in each an every book of him I can get into my fingers. He was a brilliant Photographer and writer too.

And certainly don't leave out Paul Strand...it's hard to say Ansel Adams and not say Paul Strand at the same time.

... nor Edward Weston.

We had a thread like this not too long ago. If you can find it there will probably lots of other names.

In terms of those working today, then Michael Kenna

I thought so; I did a cursory search, but didn't find it.

Oh, I like. He really pares things down to the essentials, doesn't he? Some of his works, the Seaweed pictures, for example, remind me of Wendy. And some others remind me of you.

Bookmarked.

Ahah! Just stumbled across it in the lounge, which I guess you have to be logged in to see. There are indeed many more names; those who are interested should click here.
