Annie Leibovitz

 
I am fascinated by Annie Leibovitz life: so spontaneous and full of rich experiences. One of Annie's most interesting adventures was when she toured with The Rolling Stones. I cannot imagine having this opportunity. The power between the dynamic duo of Annie and The Rolling Stones created amazingly "real," hypnotizing, and disturbing pictures. The way Mick Jagger abused his body is atrocious and yet he was an icon. Everyone fantasizes about the rock and roll lifestyle, but when seeing the backstage happenings through Annie's camera the images do not seem so enticing.

I had seen the image taken by Annie Leibovitz of Annie Lennox before, but I had no idea it was one of Annie Leibovitz photographs. I really like this picture. Annie Leibovitz’s art is very influential. I remember this picture and when I think of Annie Lennox this is the image I see. I am sure this is the case for many Annie Lennox fans. The power of Annie Leibovitz’s art is amazing. She is lucky that her art has such a large audience. I do not think anyone would have a problem doing her job, but that’s the catch…not everyone could do her job. I strongly believe this, her talent is rare, others with access to the same resources; a creative eye is necessary.

I love the picture of Susan Sontag. I had no idea that Annie Leibovitz and Susan Sontag had such a close relationship. I find their relationship interesting because I would not think that they viewed photography in the same way. I was touched by their deep friendship.

Meryl Streep is an icon. This picture is genius! It is easily one of my favorites by Annie Leibovitz. It was probably an honor for Meryl Streep to be photographed by Annie Leibovitz and Annie Leibovitz was probably honored to be photographing Meryl Streep. There was so much talent in the room when this picture was taken. I would be honored to be the photographer or the subject in this circumstance. You cannot go wrong with getting to be Meryl Streep o Annie Leibovitz. I wonder if they get along…I wonder if Annie Leibovitz likes most of the celebrities she takes photographs of or if she even cares about getting to know them. I would want to meet my subject and try to understand them, but I don’t know if Annie Leibovitz does. I think she would because she seems to like people the same way I do.

Annie Leibovitz has an amazing life…I hope she enjoys it as much as I believe I would.
