[QUOTE="Eye-level, post: 53748, member: 6548"] There are just to many from to many different eras from to many genres of photography to say who was the best... WW2 era - Joe Rosenthal The flag over Mt. Suribachi. At the start of the battle there were 22K Japanese soldiers...at the end there were about 200. The Americans lost even more... Note HCB is indeed great...Dessau and the Gestapo Informant being exposed is crazy drama because it is real! Vietnam - Nick Ut Photo of Phan Thi Kim Phuc. Pulitzer prize winner better known as the napalm girl. A picture of war that is like a hammer on your soul. After he made it he put away the camera and did not leave the girl's side until they were wheeling her into the operating room. Eddie Adams and the summary execution snap... Nickolas Muray made some fantastic images of Marilyn Monroe that are just dripping of 50's golden age America... I could go on and on and on...funny how photography really hasn't been around very long at all in the grand scheme of things... :) And let's not forget the women! How about Julia Margaret Cameron and her way ahead of time portrait sensibilities...check out the shot of A. Tennyson...just incredible. One of Gordon Parks contempories and loosely connected to him through Ron Stryker was Dorothea Lange...a migrant mother and her children in California likely from dust bowl days Oklahoma...an extremely powerful modern day madonna and child...
