I don't think this is a famous photo, but I found it immensely intriguing.

http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=2553282 it's of a carpenter at work by a photographer called Michael Ging. To me it looks like a Dutch master in terms of composition, lighting, subject, etc and is perfect for me. Everytime I see this, I realise that I have so much further to go in my photography...

He has a lot more pictures here: http://photo.net/photodb/member-photos?user_id=947345&include=all and they are superb.

This one is funny: http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=2594450 and this one (http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=2517806) is almost inspirational.

Much recommmended!

I'm actively learning about photography so my current preferences will likely change very quickly... At the moment, I'd say my favourite photograph is by Cartier-Bresson, taken, I believe, in Burma, with stairs surrounded by trees, a girl on the left looking at the camera, and several people on the stairs. If anybody can find the photo online, that would be nice, but I can't.
