    I want to play too. In no particular order:

    Robert Adams
    Alfred Stieglitz
    Walker Evans
    Daido Moriyama
    Ken Schles
    Eugene Atget
    Richard Avedon
    Ray Metzger
    Osamu Kanemura
    Wim Wenders (both films and photos)

    For some of them, I can think of a particular show or particular book that sent me off in a new direction or changed my perspective on the world.

    As the only person who has mentioned Jeff Wall, let me tell a little story.

    Some years ago, I was on a plane, seated in business class beside a gentleman who was very much the business class archetype. For some reason, the subject of photography came up. As we got into the discussion, he told me, somewhat warily, that his son was working on set design and lighting. I asked him, "For whom?" He said, "A fellow named Jeff Wall." At the time, Wall had just won the Hasselblad award, and I said "Wow, that's pretty cool". Then he smiled, and started asking me questions about Wall and his son's work. The easiest, for me, was to explain his son's work in cinema terms. Anyway, he was taken aback that someone on a plane would know who Jeff Wall was, and might think that his kid wasn't a complete screw-up. I think that he left the plane feeling pretty good.

    Seeing Edward Burtynsky's manufactured landscapes show at the Brooklyn Museum in 2005(?) was a revelation for me, I saw what a huge beautiful color print could be and I was off on large format. Very few photographers really grab me in terms of constantly wanting to look at their work in reproduction form-- the few being O Winston Link, Winogrand, Friedlander, and maaaybe Joel Sternfeld. I really have to see Ansel Adams prints to enjoy his work.
