Question favourite photographers/photographs

*This could have been posted in snapshots but I'm intrested in who inspires the photographer folks here so hopefully I can get away with putting it here*

Who are your favourite photographers and what are your favourite photographs? I don't know much about the history of photography or many photographers so this is my chance to get a bit of edyookayshun. I wouldn't say I have a favourite photographer at this stage but here are some photographs I like:



Lisa Fonssagrives (model) by Eriwin Blumenfeld (1939)
This was for French Vogue to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the construction of The Eiffel Tower. I feel the vertigo kicking in just looking at this.



Eddie Anderson; 21 Years Old; Houston, Texas; 20 Dolars. by Philip-Lorca DiCorcia (1991)





Can't go wrong with Missy Auf Der Maur from the Sotheby's exhibition The Kids Are Alright.

There's a few more I might put up later, there's one by Linda Connor, Petroglyph and Star Trails, but I can't find a good version on any website.

There's lots of other photographers that I love, but I'm too lazy to post right now!

Ralph Gibson, Edward Weston, Robert Doisneau, Cartier-Bresson... some of "the classics".

Yeah please post some examples and stuff.

I was also wondering if people could recommend good photography books/ a good overview of the history of photography? I pretty much just have the internet and the wee Phaidon Photo Book to guide me



By Bob Gruen

These two I don't know the photographers but I've always loved them:





either a capture of a great moment or a very good idea, with the Summer of Sam headline etc.
