Innovators in Contemporary Photography

Apparently, Colin Pantell and Joerg Colberg initiated an exchange of sorts between photobloggers this past week - opening up a discussion of which photographers "have demonstrated an openness to use new ideas in photography, who have taken chances with their photography and have shown an unwillingness to play it safe."  It's been great to see the nominations come across the various blogs.  A nice bit of overlap (particularly with Paul Graham - well deserved in my mind, at least) as well as some lesser known (to me) practitioners.  Good stuff to take a look at.  Joerg Colberg has published links to the various blogs today on Conscientious.  You can view that HERE.

Students in Memory and the Photograph might find particular interest in the reviews/discussion of works by Christian Patterson (the book Redheaded Peckerwood) and Erik Kassels.
