for me it would be Christer Rosewell.  I find his work creatively and technically inspiring.

But I'm happy being me and doing what I do.

Bob Randall of course. Who wouldn't want to be a national treasure?

If I have to pick someone dead, it would be Galen Rowell. One of the best landscape shooters ever.

i go in phases, recently i've been stuck on Guido Argentini, if just for a day to know the addresses of his locations.

anyway, go on spill the beans, no one will tell.

Well, aside from the usual "household names", one of the photographers I've been following for years is, well, um... you. 

Also Michael Tarasov from Russia, another of my personal favorites.
