In chronicling photographers who have influenced me, I felt compelled to mention an artist well-known to the world, but a mystery in another aspect. Stanley Kubrick was best known for the artistically captivating and influential films "2001: A Space Odyssey," "The Shining" and "A Clockwork Orange," among many others, but it was his time as a photographer that truly left an impression on me. Evident in his early photographs, his eye for composition and personal style of street/portrait photography would later foreshadow the greatness that would garner such praise in his films.
