[Leica] Annie Liebovitz

 A few days ago PBS ran a documentary on AL as part of the American Masters 
series. My impression is that she's a 'method' photographer. This is, she 
becomes part of the scene. That worked very well in the 60's when she 
documented the youth revolt set off by the Vietnam War and middle class 
verities. She jumped out of the counterculture mags and now she does fancy 
magazine ad work and portraits of celebrities, mostly in studios. She hangs 
around with Tina Brown who's enthusiastic about her ideas. The documentary 
showed her using Leica M's and Nikon SLRs, but not digitals. Unless I missed 
them among the fast scene changes.
