[Ed O'Grady]

I think that Brett Weston deserves a place on this list.

In honor of Frank Petronio, I hereby nominate all the New Topographics artists, of which he is such a fan!

Odd that John Paul Caponegro is listed as the fourth most influential photographer, while his father, Paul Caponegro, isn't listed at all...

But Paul didn't write books on Photoshop, you know ?

A sign of the times, I suppose... and I'm surprised that Flickr and Myspace didn't come in first and second!

Yes, very near the top.

Shelby Lee Adams is one of the great documentary photographers of our age (and he shoots 4X5).

I am one of the ones who thinks Hiroshi Sugimoto should be on this ~list~.

But, one of his works is used as the cover for the new U2 album (which I happened to notice at the bookstore the other day) - so does that ruin him and make his work "too commercial?”

Saul Leiter should fit in these lists somewhere...
