I've taken a photography course at college and it's pretty awesome. You get to basically do anything you want (except eat or drink in the darkroom :roll: ). We were recently told to do some research on one of the greatest photographers of our time - Man Ray. He had a completely unique style and hated doing anything by the rule book.
He was so against doing things how they apparently had to be done that in one of his most famous forms of photography - the Ray-o-gram - he completely removes the camera from the process all together.
Here's the link for some of his work:

This is also a great site. It hasn't got any Man Ray stuff in it bu it's awesome. Paul Politis is great. Not sure how big his work is, but I think it has a cool edge.
