Could it be that she has a long last name? ;-)

Please respond to

Perhaps someone can explain why one should be impressed by, excited by,
moved by Annie Leibovitz's photography. Yes, she is a very competent
promotional portrait artist. Beyond that, I just don't get it. She's
simply someone who was in the right place at the right time and excelled
a self-promotion. Or am I missing something?

Subject: [Leica] Annie Leibovitz
About a week ago I saw an exhibit, called "Rewarding Lives", of Annie
Leibovitz's portraits in San Francisco. She made these photographs of
well-known persons for an American Express advertising campaign. The
poster-sized prints are displayed in a very well designed display space.
Annie's work is - to me - entertaining but as Tina and The New York
Times point out, neither spontaneous nor revealing. Among the
celebrities is our governor-elect, bare-chested and chomping a cigar,
astride a white horse. Oliver Bryk
