Default Oops! Im lost!

Hey DPS,

I fell sick for some time and my college has eaten my time away for like six months. I am just getting back on web with my camera. I was wondering if you could recommend me some websites of some contemporary photographers who are doing big-time in advertising/fashion/photojournalism. Im looking at Bresson, Leibovitz etc. I thought it's time i should look on contemporary stuff.

Thanks,
Maheshwar

Honestly, outside of magazines and stuff, it's tough to point you in any one direction easily.
One great place to find inspiration is flickr. You can find some amazing and inspirational work from non-pros there. Also 500px is a good site.

I'm sure people can list you a bunch of names here.. I'm just not in the frame of mind to remember any.

Go there and prepare to feel like you don't even deserve to own a camera, like the rest of us do when we look at it...

You have that one nailed, I have that site blocked on my machines, so if I even get tempted to look...and to think I created an account..why I have no idea.
