William Clift, who was mentioned previously, and Sally Mann. Possibly Jock Sturges, not for his subject matter, but for his facility with an 8x10. And an honorable mention to Fred Picker, who had a huge impact on me both in terms of technique, and also by designing a lot of equipment I still use in my darkroom.

Well, now I have some time again. Having given it a little thought, I will restrict my 'heroes' to those photographers who I've actually met or interacted with, and whose work might be familiar to readers. Otherwise the list would be much too long. So, without wordy explanations:
Charles Harbutt
Nathan Lyons
David Vestal
Paul Caponigro
Norman McGrath
Steve Rosenthal
David Plowden
Kirk Gittings
There are more that should do for now. Those who have influenced me, and those whose work I admire, are subjects for another thread.
In no particular order:
-Eugene Atget
-Edouard Boubat
-Robert Dosineau
-O. Winston Link
-Josef Sudek
-Edward Weston
-Willy Ronis
-August Sander
