Made famous by her Rolling Stone days and ethereal photography [Annie Liebovitz](http://www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters/database/leibovitz_a.html) is in my opinion an American Icon of photography. Popularized by her famous pictures of [John and Yoko](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:LennonAndOno.jpg) Annie spent the majority of her career capturing people in ther most natural essence. Life.  
Her work with Hunter S. Thompson was brilliant and her work with some of the other culture changers was fascinating. I’d like to know what others feel about Annie, and if anyone has other info on her I’d like to hear it. My wife and I have most of her books and we always look forward to seeing her new work…So if anyone has any cool atories about her we’d be all ears…

No good stories or anything, just an avid appreciation for her work.
