I just finished looking at Annie Liebovitz's "Women" book in the bookstore. If I had the spare cash I would have bought it. How is she viewed in the art photography world? Some of the pictures there were stunning ... one of Barbara Bush in particular amazed me. And I think of her past work; the John Lennon in a fetal position with Yoko Ono portrait is indelible in my memory. And who could forget the Yousuf Karsh portrait of Churchill? It made the cover of Life in the early stages of America's involvement in WWII, and provided an image of resolute courage and determination that inspired a nation.
