When it comes to appreciating the mature work of iconic photographer Annie Leibovitz, as her late partner Susan Sontag might say, context is everything. Sontag did say, observing in On Photography, "A photograph changes according to the context in which it is seen." She meant this in terms of the literal setting in which a given image is encountered - book, gallery, news journal, singly, in a series, and as a function of the historical zeitgeist. In the case of Leibovitz's current turn on the world stage, it is a question of both. a b Salkin, Allen (July 31, 2009). "For Annie Leibovitz, a Fuzzy Financial Picture". The New York Times .

Over the years I've read a few interviews with Leibovitz and It's always been difficult to tell if she is incredibly self-involved and egomaniacal, or incredibly down-to-earth and practical. This book really illuminates just how much she falls into the latter category. None of the stories seem romanticized. Some are certainly quite funny, and many are rather heartbreaking.

Working on assignment for Rolling Stone with the legendary journalist Hunter S. Thompson, Leibovitz captured the moment when, after resigning as president, Nixon left the White House for the last time. Three stooped guards in the foreground of the image roll up the carpet, fighting against the wind from the whirling blades as Nixon's helicopter hovers behind them. The magazine intended to publish the image alongside Thompson's piece but when he failed to submit, the editor published Leibovitz's images alone. The expressive photos captured an extraordinary, and highly-documented event in American history in a novel way. Here Leibovitz brilliantly highlights that the relevance of a work of art is not in what it reveals about the subject, but in what it shows about the cultural moment in which it was created. On December 8, 1980, Leibovitz had a photo shoot with John Lennon for Rolling Stone, and she promised him he would make the cover. She had initially tried to get a picture with just Lennon alone, as Rolling Stone wanted, but Lennon insisted that both he and Yoko Ono be on the cover. Leibovitz then tried to re-create something like the kissing scene from the couple's Double Fantasy album cover, a picture Leibovitz loved. She had John remove his clothes and curl up next to Yoko on the floor. Leibovitz recalls, Bennett, Geoff (March 25, 2008). "Racially Insensitive Photo or Oversensitive Response?". NPR .

When I talk about what the camera means to me, I mean the idea of the camera. What photography does. I’m not in to it because of the equipment, and I’m not concerned with the things that concern more technically acute people. I want to use whatever helps me take a picture in all kinds of light with faster speed and fewer problems. I changed my 35mm digital camera four times in one year. As soon as I hear there’s a better one out, I try it.
