Andy Goldsworthy is one of my favorites as well. I guess you could say he's more of a sculptor who takes pictures of his work than a photographer, but the distinction at that point is getting a bit ethereal.

On the topic of mud cracks and Andy Goldsworthy, here's an installation he did (he talks about it in Rivers and Tides around the 80 minute mark) with clay. The pattern of cracks (modeled after the meanders of a river, a common theme in his work) arises due to the clay drying at different rates and the underlying thought process behind the installation is really pretty inspiring.
