6... or more.

I checked out a few books at the library and would LOVE to post the artists' names, but I left the books in my mom's office at school. =/ So I'll be posting those tomorrow. Some of the photographers I learned about and liked through the internet include:

Duane Michels-love his series type work where a subtle difference is made in each frame, resulting in a totally different picture.

Martin Kollar-his series "Nothing Special" contains pictures where the buildings in the background (very geometrical) are taking up most of the space. Other pictures in the series are very ironic and humorous.

Michael Kenna-reminds me a lot of Ansel Adams. Very dramatic yet simple. Extreme value difference.

Richard Avelon-was a photojournalist. photographed elite government, media, and labor officials and juxtaposed these images with counterculture activist, artists, etc. His pictures are full of familiar, sometimes awkward facial expressions. I like him more for his creative ideas.

I'll add the others tomorrow!
