MsPibel | Jun 12, 2009 |  Annie Leibovitz writes much like she speaks: blunt, honest, and brief. That's not a bad thing, though, as she covers a lot of ground in the book that discusses her working style and photography career. Some of the stories are repeated from earlier works and published interviews, but it's fascinating to see the photographs and the stories that go with them. Photographers who take themselves too seriously should read this book. I was fascinated by Annie's admissions that so often she learned on the job-- especially lighting-- and she openly talks about mistakes she made and how she learned from them. Clearly, though, she is one of America's premier artists, and a brief flip through the images in the book will leave no doubt of that. While this is a book about photography, it is by no means only for photographers. Anyone with any sense of culture or history will likely enjoy it.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0375505105, Hardcover)“The first thing I did with my very first camera was climb Mt. Fuji. Climbing Mt. Fuji is a lesson in determination and moderation. It would be fair to ask if I took the moderation part to heart. But it certainly was a lesson in respecting your camera. If I was going to live with this thing, I was going to have to think about what that meant. There were not going to be any pictures without it."—Annie Leibovitz Annie Leibovitz describes how her pictures were made, starting with Richard Nixon's resignation, a story she covered with Hunter S. Thompson, and ending with Barack Obama's campaign. In between are a Rolling Stones Tour, John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Demi Moore, Whoopi Goldberg, The Blues Brothers, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Keith Haring, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Patti Smith, George W. Bush, William S. Burroughs, Kate Moss and Queen Elizabeth. The most celebrated photographer of our time discusses portraiture, reportage, fashion photography, lighting, and digital cameras.
