One of the most celebrated photographers of our time presents a selection of her work of the last fifteen years. The material documents the arc of Leibovitz's relationship with her companion, Susan Sontag, who died in 2004; the birth of her three daughters; and many events involving her large and robust family, including the death of her father. The book is permeated with strong emotions. Leibovitz's passion for her family and friends is part of a larger passion that extends to the subjects of her professional work, and the two worlds meet thematically. Portraits of public figures include the pregnant Demi Moore, Nelson Mandela in Soweto, Jack Nicholson on "Mulholland Drive", Bill Clinton in the Oval Office, William Burroughs in Kansas, and Agnes Martin in Taos. Over 300 photographs are accompanied by an essay by Leibovitz that discusses the circumstances under which the work was made, both technically and logistically, and her relationships with and thoughts about many of the subjects.

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)

翻了半天没看到列侬和大野，后来一看书名1990-2005。有些广告和名人照，看到很多苏珊桑塔格的生活照。

超多熟面孔。打動我的是一張年輕時代的Leonardo Dicaprio 一隻白鵝掛在他的脖子上。那時他還沒有皺紋，沒有今天犀利的俗氣。沒有笑，有些迷惘。

这本书从照片上说惊艳的地方不多，除非是对AL特别迷恋便值得一看。
