What are your thoughts about his ideas and work?
Who are some contemporary photographers whom he may have influenced?

Sad news. I loved his work from California in the seventies. I didn't see much from him after that until I bought his new book, West and West, the other week. Landscapes of the great plains. Interesting and austere.

Cheers,
Gary

See a few of his early pictures, and hear him and others from the New Topographics show discuss their work (on the LACMA web site)...http://www.lacma.org/art/nt-deal.aspx
