Photographers and their websites

Hello! I would like to share this website I came across which may or may not have already been on everyone's radar. It has a lot of people we know in it! It is the Museum of Contemporary Photography which is located in Chicago. It focuses on photographers in the Midwest. I went through the photographers and found the ones I was most interested in, and looked at their individual websites to give me ideas for my own. It also had everyone's biographies to read.
