Haha! that was a funny bit on youtube. LOL!
Hi Gang,
Actually, I found a subsequent article (sorry, can't remember where) that explained that AP got the story completely wrong - the footage of Her Majesty "storming out" was in fact taken as she was walking to her appointment with Annie Liebowitz. I don't know how the news media keeps getting so much wrong these days - very amateurish - no, actually the amateurs in the blogosphere are often more accurate, come to think of it.
What do you all think of this photographer, anyway? I just went through her latest book, and many of the photos were essentially snapshots of her family or of her partner, Susan Sontag. Some were quite good, most were very ordinary, some were frankly terrible photos of a quality I would never show in public.
She is obviously a skilled portrait artist, but if her portraits were not ones of John Lennon or Mick Jagger or Bono or whomever, would anyone really notice?
P.S. - somehow I've lost access to my gmail and other Google accounts - I'm still at srosenbach@yahoo.com -- Regards, SteveR
hi Steve,
check out the comments on your "Portraits" post. We had some things to say about Annie Liebovitz there.

Just a question, you guys might be able to help me out --- Who's an example of a photographer that has become famous for portraits of non-celeb peeps... I just want to compare their work with Liebowitz's.
hi Lea,
that's an interesting question because I think a portrait photographer might become famous precisely because he/she takes pictures of famous people. I think there are many, many great portrait photographers who are not famous, but are masters of the art of portrait photography.
that said, maybe someone else can come up with some names. Through some casual research, i've come up with some:
- Dorothea Lange
- Helmut Newton
- Anton Corjbin
- Mary Ellen Mark
- Lord Lichfield
just to name a few. Some of these folks also worked with famous people.
