In the U.S I would say it's probably Ansel Adams. I'm not sure you would get the same answer in Europe or Asia. In Europe maybe Henri Cartier-Bresson or maybe Brassaï. It would be interesting to hear from you guys in other parts of the world.

Except maybe Bryan Adams, his photos are better than his singing... :lol:  (JMHO)

In Asia it's also Ansel Adams I'd say.  I'm just asking my Chinese photography friend... waiting, waiting... he said: "Michael Yamashita"
