Cindy Sherman
"The Untitled Film Stills are all black and white photos in which Sherman places herself as an unnamed actress in shots reminiscent of foreign films, Hollywood pictures, B-movies, and film noir. " - wiki
"[T]here was nothing more to say [through painting]," she later recalled. "I was meticulously copying other art and then I realized I could just use a camera and put my time into an idea instead."

Amy Stein
A reminder of how awesome Amy Stein's body of work is... I'm looking forward to even more.

Maybe the most interesting is her project called "stranded" take a look at the map. For me, this is very interesting to see where all of these photos were taken, some of them are very close to home in terms of location for me.

Miles Aldridge
Another photographer/artist that I admire, is Miles Aldridge. I guess in most every case, if someone admires someone, it may be because I relate, or in the case of being a visual artist, I have the same affinities. Like 50's 60's retro inspired styles, but pumped up.
He caught my eye again recently because some of his shots actually reminded me of things that I have created recently. Mine are not nearly as impressive though. He is a master! But I someday hope to get close to this amazingness.
It's so hard to keep my mind going in one direction, or going for one goal. I'm like a goldfish. I have many visual interests. and I can't settle on one "style." is that bad? I don't want to settle. I want to remain varied. but be great at achieving all of them, and continue to change every time.
I can say though, that color runs almost everything for me.
Go to his website, also take a look at his bio. milesaldridge.com
