The sheer quantity of great images “out there” is overwhelming at the best of times… As a result, the following list is far from extensive, but here are some individuals whose repeated efforts I’ve noticed and admired for quite some time. For what it’s worth, I’d like to humbly pay homage and offer them my eternal gratitude for their gift of inspiration and for keeping me grounded every time I’m tempted to take myself too seriously…

Friedman, Ted Grambeau, Leroy Grannis, George Greenough, Joli, Philip Jones Griffiths, Michael Halsband, Richard Heeps, Dustin Humphrey, Dale Kobetich, Daniel Kramer, David Lachapelle,  Herman Leonard, Herbert List, Keith Loutit, Jim Marshall, Charles Moore, David Pu’U, Tony Plant, Charles Peterson, Tom Servais, John Severson, Mickey Smith, Ron Stoner, Steve Wilkings, Doug Wilson, Peter & David Turnley, William Vandivert…
