So I was wondering what photographers really inspire you?

who got you into photography?

why do you like them?

Should we interview them?

Tell me! post them in this blog!

thanks

A few years back I was lucky enough to meet Paul Octavious through threadless.com, back then he'd just taken a job as the head photographer for the site although when we met in person at the 2007 meet up this hadnt been announced.

Paul is super talented and an awesome guy who's had his work featured by the new yorker and has worked for Nike, McDonalds, NY Times Magazine, The Wallstreet Journal.

If you have time go check out his work at www.flickr.com/photos/wowzzaa/ and www.geniusvomit.com/

He Didn't get me into photography but he taught me so much about it, He's got really interesting takes on the world and how it affects us. He's got a real talent for seeing beauty where its not obvious and i think he'd be a brilliant photographer to interview.

I've picked a really bad selection of his work so you should check it out yourself: www.flickr.com/joeld

It's amazingly simple, everyday day situations. www.flickr.com/photos/jjpeng/with/5217590523/ Examples: Not always SFW though.

Oh wow, to both of those! I'd really love to interview the bpoth of them but I dont speak chinese.

Yuan Xiaopeng's work is amazing.

Right now I'm a little obbessed with Chrissy Whites photography, she had more talent when she was 14 than I do at 24.
