Influences

So before I start posting my photos on here, I figured I'd show some photographers that I'm interested in/influenced by:

Galen Rowell is a photographer that was recently shown to me, and he was exactly the type of photographer that I'm aspiring to be. He was a climber and mountaineer and photographed landscapes as well as back country sports. Besides putting out a bunch of books, he was regularly published in National Geographic, and Life.

Another photographer whose work I love is Sebastião Salgado. A Brazilian photographer who photographs inorder to help. He photographs the world's poverty and people doing the real "dirty jobs" to get people to see the ugly truth, takes amazing shots of the environment to show the world what we're destroying, as well as just documenting the people of this world. All of his work(that I've seen) is black and white, extremely detailed, and the prints are absolutely amazing.
