Annie Leibovitz joins Brian Williams in the Rock Center studio for an impromptu photo shoot, courtesy of the iPhone. Leibovitz says it's all about editing to get to that perfect picture. Actually I have been saying that we better be looking over our shoulder at the iPhone ever since it came out. What seemed impossible just a few years ago this iPhone camera has now made possible. I am a big fan of it, can you tell?!
Just out, a new book by Annie,Pilgrimage.Unlike her other books, Pilgrimage,features no celebrities, no luminaries, no models. Instead, it's a thoughtful meditation on how she can sustain her creativity in the face of adversity and make the most of it.
The idea came from Leibovitz's and her partner Susan Sontag. The two had planned to do a book of places that were important to them. To me, much of the inspiration comes from her children. As a photographer myself, I know that inspiration can come from many different sources, different places and at different times. Inspiration is the fuel that powers our visual engines.
P.S. this book would make a great Holiday present for somebody...
