So many people make it tough to choose just one photographer from the past, or present. I still have an interview in BlackBook magazine with Richard Avedon, just a few years before he died. I was impressed with his thoughtfulness, and explaining how his approach to photography changed over the years. It would be very amazing to talk with him in person

I have two books on Lessing: Budapest 1956 (2006) and Reportage Photography 1948 - 1973 (2005). I don't think it's too difficult to find them.

Yes you are right, I was aware of the "Erich Lessing Arresting Time: Reportage Photography, 1948-1973" but I remember it being out of stock. Plenty of them online now. I wasn't aware of "Budapest " though. Thanks for the info.

Like Bill Clark, I would love to talk with my mentor and good friend again. He passed away a few years ago and I miss him every day. My well know heros are Adams and Salgado. I have several of their books so that will have to do.

Not a name you hear too often. I suppose that was the price he paid for his insistence on covering the war in Algeria when the Magnum leadership thought this would undermine their organization. I assume he resigned after Magnum refused to publish or market his photos? He moved on and had a successful career as a photojournalist in Canada. Cheers, OtL

The first time (ok, the only time) I had a private conversation with Avedon we were at opposite ends of a couch, me a 34 year old photography Instructor, he possibly the most famous fashion photographer in the world.
HE: "What courses do you teach?"
ME: "Intermediate Black and White, View Camera Technique, Studio Lighting and (with fingers intentionally placed in front of my mouth) Fashion Photography."
HE: "Sorry, I didn't catch that last one."
ME "Fashion Photography."
HE: "Tell me...how do you do that?"
Initially I thought "Oh no, please leave me alone" but he seemed genuinely curious and not at all condescending.
Later I told him that in that class we spend an entire week devoted to his work.
He seemed surprised.
I was surprised he was surprised.

Because sooner or later, he's gonna piss somebody off with his " In your face" tactics and get the crap beaten out of him.
Huh, wow, really a Sony? I've only even seen him using Leica stuff on the street. That said, he does have a way with people.
I'd talk to him...why not? Not one of my favorites, but he certainly will have great stories, great advice and will drink a few beers I would imagine.

I went to see Masahisa Fukase in hospital, but I’d like to have met him conscious. I’d like to talk to his wife too, but that’s another question.

Meyerowitz would indeed be interesting. Very few photographers can become that eloquent in such varying fields as urban candid portraiture (I hate the term "street") and formal Large-format Landscape (for want of a better name, as that work really defies being labeled).

Agreed. He seems to have drastically re-invented himself, professionally, at several points in his life. That in itself takes courage and self-awareness. Not to mention his being one of the small handful of photographers who, with their insistence and dedication, achieved acceptance and respect for color photography back in the seventies. Quite a career, and he's still going strong, at 85!
Huh?
I respect him for the same reasons. I took a class with him at ICP in NYC. He could be still doing something similar. He's approachable.

Masahisa Fukase had a traumatic brain injury in the early 90s and spent a decade or more in a coma before dying. Sad story.

Still alive? War photographer Eddy Van Wessel.
I did get to spend a week including some darkroom time with Jay Dusard....always loved his style with an 8x10, as well as his printing expertise.
