I scored a pass to a screening of a documentary on Saturday in London called Annie Leibovitz: Life Through A Lens. After doing some research, it looks like this documentary ran on PBS just last year but is just being released here in 2008. I really love Annie’s work, and the documentary which was produced by her sister, did an excellent job of not just focusing on the fact that Annie has taken a lot of pictures of celebrities. It was also about her documenting her relationships and her family history. At times the audience laughed and at times we cried. Early in the documentary Annie explains that at some point in her life she realized she loved to travel and see new places and things and being a woman on her own, if she had a camera in her hand, she had a purpose.
If you are a fan of her work or photography in general, do see this. Here is also a link to one of her most famous photographs, the picture of John and Yoko taken just hours before John was murdered.
