hey annie. can you teach me?

I went to the Annie Leibovitz exhibition today. In case you're under a rock, Ms. AL is probably one of the most famous American photographers. Her work floods the pages of Vogue, Vanity Fair, and Rolling Stones.

The famous Demi Moore nude/preggers picture...that's her work. The famous Willie Nelson profile photo...that's hers. And if you are into pop culture, the supposedly "controversial" Vanity Fair shot of blanket-wrapped Miley Cyrus...that's hers too.

Much of her photography is in black and white (my favorite). The exhibit featured large photos as well as small stills with little hand written notes. Her work is just mesmerizing.

Inspired? Indeed.
