Peter is pretty killer. I like Jay Maisel and Moose Peterson a lot too. I heard a story yesterday of a guy that paid $45 for a bunch of old glass negatives at a garage sale. He ended up buying some of Ansel Adams early work that was presumed to have been destroyed in a darkroom fire in the early 30s. Estimated Value: 200M!!!! Talk about hitting the jackpot.

Rob, I just heard on the news last night they were fakes. I'm a big fan of Chase Jarvis, Grant Gundersons ski photography is sick, anything Bill Doster shoots on the water is always on point.

Agree with all of these! Also Galen Rowell, David and Marc Muench and Michael Fatali are some of my favs.

Mark Rebilas by far. He takes a totally different approach to sport photography

I like Vincent Laforet also. Mike Isler works with him.

I really like Mike Islers work and miss seeing his stuff in the wake mags. A few other wakeboard photographers that come to mind would be Rodrigo, Big Spence, Cortese, Hahn, Meddock and Letchworth. I'm stoked to see Riley getting some work in the wake mags these days too.

PS,
It's also really cool to see all the photographers here on wakeworld post their work and progress !
