My favorite photographer is Henri Cartier Bresson. I like his photos of Europe, especially those taken right after WWII.

I blogged about it here.

I am embarrassed because the only famous photographer I can think of is Ansel Adams. Actually my daughter is my favorite because she sends me wonderful photos of my grandchildren.

That would be my cousin, living in Vancouver, WA. She is deaf, and I think that adds a certain character to her photos.

This is easy for me. I saw Robert Mapplethorpe's 'The Perfect Moment' for the dirty pics. Yea, I looked at the dirty pics. But the scope of his genius startled me. Anyone can take a picture but he created compelling and distinctive art. I don't get that feeling from anyone else besides Ansel Adams. It saddens me to realize Ann Geddes and Annie Liebovitz are considered great photographers. Give me mapplethorpe.
