”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.” Portraits of well-known figures-Johnny Cash, Nicole Kidman, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Keith Richards, Michael Jordan, Joan Didion, R2-D2, Patti Smith, Nelson Mandela, Jack Nicholson, William Burroughs, George W. Bush with members of his Cabinet-appear alongside pictures of Leibovitz’s family and friends, reportage from the siege of Sarajevo in the early Nineties, and landscapes made even more indelible through Leibovitz’s discerning eye. The images form a narrative rich in contrasts and continuities: The photographer has a long relationship that ends with illness and death. She chronicles the celebrations and heartbreaks of her large and robust family. She has children of her own. All the while she is working, and the public work resonates with the themes of her life.
原文摘录

...after Susan died, on December 28, 2004, I began searching for photographs of her to put in a little book that was intended to be given to the people who came to her memorial service. The project was important to me, because it made me feel close to her and helped me to begin to say good-bye.
I edited this book with her in mind, as if she were standing behind me, saying what she would like to see in it.
I don't have two lives. This is one life, and the personal pictures and the assignment work are all part of it.
Taking intimate pictures of family members and people to whom you are close is a privilege, and it brings a certain responsibility.
I would go into the barn every morning and put it (a CD by Rosanne Cash) on very loud and cry for ten minutes or so and then start working, editing... (查看原文)

Spent an hour reading Annie's introduction. Actually I've read part of it in a bookshop, which is partly the reason I bought this book. I was and am fascinated by her writing, so personal and emotional and moving.

I was and am fascinated by her writing, so personal and emotional and moving. This is not a way to write artist statement but it fits well with this particular book, a collection of photos from both personal and assignment work. There seems no logic in the bits of pieces she put into this introduction. But that's the way memory works. It is never a continuous narrative in your mind, but always in fragments. A trip with Susan Sontag. How they bought an apartment in Paris. Susan's last days. I was all in tears at the last paragraphs. Finally, knowing the fact that Annie Leibovitz and Susan Sontag were lovers and reading again and again in the intro "Susan likes this" and "it's Susan's idea that" and Annie's sorrows after Susan died are two different thing. The latter reaches far deeper in my heart.

其实从Annie Leibovitz各个阶段拍摄的照片来看，都不难发面其中存在着明显的摄影记者的痕迹，也就是摄影作为记录。无论是精心布置的时尚人像照片，还是日常中随手给家人和爱人拍摄的照片，带入一些现场的环境只是一种拍摄的手段，更重要的是时间加深了这些照片的意义。尽管当时只是一些简单的记录画面，也随着数十年时间的变化变的不凡而且唯一。 里面很多版面都是她给父母和苏珊桑塔格拍的照片，同一个角度只是表... 其实从Annie Leibovitz各个阶段拍摄的照片来看，都不难发面其中存在着明显的摄影记者的痕迹，也就是摄影作为记录。无论是精心布置的时尚人像照片，还是日常中随手给家人和爱人拍摄的照片，带入一些现场的环境只是一种拍摄的手段，更重要的是时间加深了这些照片的意义。尽管当时只是一些简单的记录画面，也随着数十年时间的变化变的不凡而且唯一。 里面很多版面都是她给父母和苏珊桑塔格拍的照片，同一个角度只是表情和动作略有不同，在外人来看可能根本就没什么区别，但是她都选上了。我觉得这除了照片带来连续的片段以外，还有可能是对于亲人和爱人照片的一种反应，不舍得且都重要。 (展开)
