Mary Ellen Mark?
Mary Ellen Mark?
I note that no one has mentioned Richard Prince, who still holds the record for the most expensive photograph by a contemporary photographer, over a million dollars at auction.
Guess he wouldn't make my list either, though...

I wholeheartedly disagree. Art doesn't have to be relevant. Photojournalism, while an admirable profession, is one subset among many in photography. It hasn't earned any special treatment here. Neither have the others.
I do not have to admit any such thing, nor do I.

Ok it doesn't have to be exclusively news photog, but surely there are a few contemporary news photos who are sufficiently important to at least make someone's list of top ten, right? But I don't see too any . . .
Could it be that as LF photogs we have a biased view of the field which favors art/landscape etc and tends to downplay news photogs?
Oh Tim, all the time and effort that you put into slagging me off and defending Jock Sturges images and you don't even rate him. Neither does anyone else up to now, amazing!

... I'm actually not hugely into portrait photographers - Cameron, Sander, Avedon (may have made the list if he were still alive), maybe Dijkstra. So Sturges is good, but there just aren't many portrait photogs I would include in such a list ( or at least people who do virtually "only" portraits)
