A friend of mine pointed out that I came in at No. 6 in DPB's Top Ten Photojournalists of All Time. Although I believe that there are many others far more deserving of this than I, it is an honor that I hope to actually earn after another two or three decades of work. The list was as follows:
1. Robert Capa
2. Henri Carier-Bresson
3. Robert Frank
4. Dorathea Lang
5. James Nachtwey
6. Zoriah Miller
7. Don McCullin
8. Eugene Richards
9. Luc Delahaye
10. William Eugene Smith
After reading this, I spent a bit of time thinking about who, in my personal opinion, are the best photojournalists of all time. I decided instead of a standard Top 10 list, I would break it down by my top five favorite photojournalists who are well-known and my top five favorites that may not be as known—yet. Although my opinions on this subject do change over time, here is the list as I see it today.
My top five well-known photojournalists:
My top five photojournalists who you may have not yet had the pleasure of finding their work:
It would be great to hear from all of you in the comments section. Please feel free to post links to your favorite photojournalists' web sites below so their work can be shared with the rest of us!
I like Tommy Huynh.

I'd have to recommend my fellow swede Martin von Krogh, he hasn't gotten much recognition outside of Sweden, but he's a marvelous photojournalist, who truly seem to connect with the people he photographs. Check out for example his story about the cinema in Kabul, or the two Future of- series that he has on his website: www.martinvonkrogh.com
And congratulations Zoriah!

I'm not to sure if you don't think he deserves a top spot for your top 5 but I think you forgot Eddie Adams. James Nachtwey would definitely be my top spot. I'm also a big fan of Reza maybe cause of what all he has done and accomplished, not just in photojournalism.

Congratulations, Zoriah!

I think it is an amazing picture. Unfortunately yes war creates terrible things but the arguement should not be, why are we there the arguement should be why arent people supporting our troops. We follow orders we go to protect our country. Whether you agree or disagree were there.

I loved the kettle caramel flavor, so did my boyfriend. The popcorn is crunchy since it is covered with caramel. It sounds wierd but it is worth the try!Check these guys out for really good, and unique, flavors. The cheese course duo is one of my favorites, but I've liked everything I've tried. Too bad they're in Scottsdale. Time for a trip back.

All sentences are about a little something or another person. The a little something or anyone that the sentence is about is called the topic on the sentence. From your blog, I see that, and study a thing I'd like. Thanks for sharing.
