I first found out about David Burnett when looking through a National Geographic issue on the aftermath of hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. He had these pictures that seemed to have selective focus and the pictures made everything look miniature. I did some digging around and found out he uses an camera view camera called the Graflex Speed Graphic that uses 4x5 negative sheets.
Have a look at a lot of his neat pictures here. The NY Times also has a little write up on him. The audio slideshow on the left of the page has a picture of him carrying all his gear...it's crazy how he manages to steady himself for a shot with all that gear !
