A Photographer's Life 1990 - 2005
Annie Liebovitz
The photographs, published earlier this month by Random House in a book titled A Photographer’s Life 1990-2005, will be shown at the Brooklyn Museum in an exhibition opening Oct. 20. For those of you in town for Photo Plus, make some time to see this show. There will be photographs of her family and personal history including her fifteen years with the great photography essayist and novelist Susan Sontag. There will be a collection of some of her best images from Rolling Stone and Vanity Fair. Read Janny Scott's feature in the October 6th edition of the New York Times.
In the days after the death of Susan Sontag in December 2004, Annie Leibovitz began searching for photographs for a small book to be given out at the memorial service. She started with other people’s photographs of Ms. Sontag, then turned to her own, taken during the 15 years they spent together. That exercise turned into what she has described as an archeological dig: an unearthing and sifting of a decade and a half of work, love, family life, illness, deaths and births, adding up to “my most important work,” she said in an interview this week. “It’s the most intimate, it tells the best story, and I care about it.”
Janny Scott, NYTimes, October 6, 2006
“I don’t have two lives,” Annie Leibovitz writes in the Introduction to this collection of her work from 1990—2005. “This is one life, and the personal pictures and the assignment work are all part of it.” To read reviews and to order a discounted copy of A Photographer's Life 1990-2005 visit Amazon.com.
Some Quotes by Susan Sontag
(From 1001 Quotes Questions and Pondering by Ian Summers)
... the force of photographic images comes from their being material realities in their own right, richly informative deposits left in the wake of whatever emitted them, potent means for turning the tables on reality - for turning it into a shadow. Images are more real than anyone could have supposed.Susan Sontag, On Photography
...the main difference between a painting and a photograph in the matter of portraiture still holds. Paintings invariably sum up; photographs usually do not. Photographic images are pieces of evidence in an ongoing biography or history. And one photograph, unlike one painting, implies that there will be others.
Susan Sontag, On Photography
