How did I miss Annie Leibovitz on NPR on tuesday? I must be seriously slacking in my news gathering. Check it out over here. Among other things, she talks about her great new collection, “Annie Leibovitz at Work”.
Here’s a couple of short quotes to wet your appetite…
“It’s a romantic story,” she says. “Can you imagine? Being young, being on the road with the Rolling Stones, doing everything, and holding on tight to my camera.”
“I sometimes find the surface interesting. To say that the mark of a good portrait is whether you get them or get the soul — I don’t think this is possible all of the time,” she says. “Could you imagine trying to get the soul every day?”
I highly suggest you give a listen, or at least check out the NPR article for some highlights.

I’ve heard some goody things about this blog. Remember to balance the pics with the text tho
but over all very nice post, keep up the good work
I saw the show and bought the book. Annie Leibovitz is a true talent and lucky to hook up with the right people early on. I love her work and the book is a good investment. It gives you insight to her approach to photo assignments and her interaction with subjects. She seems to have little ego and points out several gaffs she has made during her career. It would be nice to meet her in person.
