What are your inspirational large format websites

[l2oBiN]

I came across Michael's website which had some inspirational images
http://www.michael-gordon.com/
And looking for more inspirational images, I was wondering which websites featuring large format images inspire you?


The idea would be to post a website other than your own...

[Thad Gerheim]

My own, http://www.thadgerheim.com

Where's yours?

I like Michael Gordon's work.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year l2oBiN,

I know this isn't helpful, but I turn here.

My New Year's resolution will be to get familiar with names listed here...

Greg Miller is my most admired photographer at the moment. I like the honesty and simplicity of what he does. I learned about him after he was inteviewed on Inside Analog Photo of all places.

OK, I shouldn't try to post on New Year's eve. I tried to remove my first post, but I'm not able to access it now. Would one of the moderators remove it? I was feeling a little testy this last week when someone showed me their website and it had several identical photos that mine has. I think the secret in finding immense joy and originality is in finding inspiration in your own work.

Thanks Frank,
I'd rather have a mouse with a breathalyzer that locks the keyboard if I fail!

Thanks for the Dan Winters site. I've been admiring his work in Wired for some time now and never realized most of his stuff is 4x5. I never thought to look for him on the internets. Very inspirational.

[Frank Petronio]

I think Dan Winters is one of the very best ever too.

In general I like the photographers who don't go around flaunting their large-format cameras as being their key distinguishing feature -- people like Winters and Ockenfels use whatever works (mostly film) and whether it is a hundred year old modified Kodak or something modern, the camera isn't what matters.

Still I love all their gear and gadgetry....

An ode to our brethren of the past who knew the importance of recording the present which was right outside their door.

Thats a book worth buying.

I used to get a lot of inspiration from portfolios published in View Camera so I've saved all my back issues. I also like to flip through automobile club magazines for untrampled parks and scenic areas and books on local history. It is amazing what has been "forgotten" in plain sight (or with a bit of looking.) Some of it is quite interesting subject matter.

[Richard Mahoney]

For me, more fascinating than inspiring ...

I'm not sure what format Kander shoots, but I find the work inspiring regardless of how it was made. The others all shoot 4x5.

[Gem Singer]

Take a look at Merg Ross's website and see if it is inspirational enough for you.

It is for me.

This thread could be subtitled "Websites that Annoy You with Excessive Use of Flash"

Some good work though.

Here is an older friend of mine who makes some wonderful photographs of the intersection of man and nature. He is also a technical master too, but you have never heard of him. He hit 60 this year and he still talks about photography with a passion a 20 year old beginner couldn't match.

Very nice.

I found the Mr Toledano and Greg Miller sites excellent.

Toledano's images of his father were particularly moving and Miller's images of Band Camp were great. Both took the very mundane (an aging father and band practice) and made them noble and profound.

[Bob Kerner]

Definitely not pretty, but makes one think that there's plenty of opportunities even in an "ugly" urban environment.

Some of the videos on the site show him at work. Looks like a Linhof man.

You might take a look at my site also.

Nadav Kander's (http://www.nadavkander.com) images of Yangtze are wonderful and surreal. Changxing Island VI and Shanghai I are just amazing.

Sorry for my rather freshman descriptions of others' work.
