Been looking at some of the photographers that influenced me when I first started out - Robert Frank, Cartier-Bresson, William Klein, Walker Evans, Ralph Eugene Meatyard, Ralph Gibson, Clarence John Laughlin. Frank, Klein, and Evans still resonate for me. Gibson, not so much anymore. Meatyard, Laughlin & Cartier-Bresson are great, just not as influential any more. Who were your influences?
Which early influences still resonate for you?
