    Eadweard Muybridge -> Etienne-Jules Marey -> Marcel Duchamp (Kazimir Malevich)
    Henri Cartier-Bresson -> Alexander Rodchenko -> William Eggleston
    Edward Steichen -> Edward Weston
    Irving Klaw -> Richard Kern
    Bernd & Hilla Becher -> Andreas Gursky
    Man Ray -> Laszlo Moholy-Nagy -> Barbara Kasten

    In no particular order.
    There's alot of other photographers that I appreciate, but they're not necessarily any influence on me.
    I have a tendency to do Harry Callahan kind of random abstract photos, but that's more by coincidence than by influence. I enjoy the comparison, though.

    Re: Your 10 Most Influential Photographers

    Mine are split into two groups: those, some lesser known, who I have learned from in person, and those whose work inspires me:

    Those with whom I have taken workshops:
    Fred Picker: mediocre photographer, but very influential for us LF photographers in the 1970s and 80s
    Bill Abranowicz: one-time assistant to George Tice, successful commercial photographer, taught me a lot about how to print
    Sally Mann: simply an amazing person (and photographer), taught at the Maine Photo Workshops when I attended in the 1980s
    Nancy Ori: founder of the NJ Photography Forum, commercial photographer and author, curator, instructor at the Ansel Adams Workshops, critiques my current work

    Those whose work I love (restricted to 6 to make the total of 10):
    William Clift
    Paul Strand
    Linda Connor
    Jock Sturges (some dislike his subject matter, but he is a superb printer if you have seen actual prints, and very facile with an 8x10!)
    Doug Petersen (friend at the NJ Photo Forum, published "The Last Light of Day," "Fortress," "Public Sculpture in NJ" excellent LF photographer and printer)
    G.E. Kidder Smith (whose "Looking at Architecture" is my favorite monograph on the subject)
