Top Photographers on Twitter

I am really enjoying working with the Nikon D90, and just purchased my third non-stock lens, a Sigma 10-20 mm wide angle. As I step up my photo game (follow me on Flickr or on Twitter), I decided to follow more photographers on Twitter, and put out a general crowdsourcing call for image masters.

Here’s who was suggested (sans a few people who really don’t seem to be on Twitter), amateurs and pros alike in alphabetical order by Twitter handle. I also added @hyku and @noreaster, two amateur photographers I greatly admire.
