I was looking to vote for you. And then found out you weren't on the list. Whoever created this list is not up on the current list. Anyway Ant my vote is for you. I guess you are considered other. I bet you can get enough votes to top whoever is in the lead anyway.

Sorry all that were left out. I've only got 12 spots and had to go with the names most likely to be recognized by those voting. At the rate many of you up and comers are going, you'll definitely push some of these folks off the list soon! There are a lot of great photographers that didn't make this list.

I shouldn't tell you guys this but that poll was My idea. No disrespect intended to Ant, Joe, Rich or anyone else that I missed. I was secretly hoping Dave might add a few of us on there.

Are you guys sucking up so he doesn't pick on you? Just kidding. Joe takes quality pictures but he really excels in the editing room. Joe spends countless hours in post production. Hats off to Umali and his tireless efforts. Get some sleep buddy!

Bug, just think of it as you were the sole 'other' and you got 15%... And therefore came in second.

Just have another poll and create a march madness type poll. This poll could have been round 1 of say East and then have round 1 of the West.

I would definitely bump Cortese and Isler up on that list. Those guys are good at what they do.

Isler and Cortese are photo gods for sure and I also think Rodrigo Donoso does some solid work.

Kind of funny that people who've been published in both Alliance and WB Mag several times aren't on the list.

Thanks for the kind words Arun and Walt. There are a lot of talented photographers not on the list, some of whom are published on a regular, if not monthly, basis. Thomas Gustafson, Rodrigo Donoso, Ricky Ephrom and Hack being a few of those. Matt Maloy is a senior photographer for both WBM and Alliance and has been shooting wake photos for years. Each magazine's masthead will list both senior photographers and contributing photographers. If you check them out you'll see a lot of names, which is a good thing, because it means the industry is growing.

Hey Garrett, Is that C54 in your profile pic?

Jarrod, Not sure what C54 is, but that picture was taken last August on Old River slough just outside of Disco Bay. You'll see the old, beat up barn behind me. Old River Bridge is in front of me, behind the camera. That's always been one of my favorite places to shoot on the Delta. It's been good to me, too, as my first wake picture ever published (a shot of Rich Facciano hitting a double up) was taken there back in 2002.

I have to say that I have had the opportunity to shoot with some of the best photographers in Wakeboarding. Meddock, Letchy, and Isler. I have learned so much from watching these guys and strive to capture my own creative images, in hopes that one day I will also be that good. Wakeboard Photogs are a funny group IMO. We all have love for one another. But we never invite each other to the lake.... I haven't had the opportunity to shoot with Garrett. In fact I haven't seen him since Nationals 04 I think? But I have been checking out his dope images in Alliance over the last year or so. Pretty sick stuff..... (Message edited by solo on July 26, 2006)

Walt - I apologize for being off topic. I was just curious because we spent some time with him at the Wakeboard Camp and I've never seen or heard of him doing any...just curious.

Nobody even mentioned the fact that Rodrigo isn't listed on there. WTF.... Dave? Ha, ha, ha, like the thread with Cali's top 25 wakeriders, there are just too many great photographers to list. You would think that Walt, Bug and Joe would get some love around here though, since they're the ones that keep us amped with killer pics.

I thought I had Rodrigo on My list of names that I submitted but like Dave said there was only room for 12. Rodrigo is actually one of My favorite photographers. I think We all know there where some damn good photographers left off the list but please don't take that as anything other than those were the ones that came to mind for Me at the time and apparently there's only room for 12 on the poll. Thanks for the complement too Evan !

Walt ~ This thread was just for fun. No need to defend your idea for a great poll. Like everyone has said, there are a ton of great photog's out there and I would be really stoked if my name was on a list of great photog's like that. I still have some more time to put in, but some day hope to be added to that list. I was really shocked to see Isler with only 4%. I think out of all the photog's on that list, he is my favorite and got my vote.

I'd vote for Rodrigo as the best guy to liven things up if you've got a boring crew! I'd vote for Isler as the best guy to have on board if you like to drool over somebody's equipment. I'd vote for Garrett if I needed some help trash talking all you dumb Nikon owners. But I voted for Buffalow because if it wasn't for him pictures of Chris wouldn't exist!
