" Who do you consider your favourite photographer? And why? "

Greetings,
I never had a "hero," or favorite photographer. We're all just people and
all put our lens' on the same. That was until I saw the photographs of
Vitorio Sella (not sure I spelled his first name properly.)
This guy was a mountain climber and image maker that predated Ansel. He was
born in the mid 1800's and most of his images were taken with (if I remember
correctly) a 30cm x 40cm camera. His images of some of the world's tallest
mountains are stunning and most were taken between 1880 & 1920. Incredible
what this guy did!
Regards, Pete
