I must say that I never considered Ms Leibovitz to be an outstanding photographer. When I ordered the book I thought, wrongly, I might have a chance to review my opinion. It was not to be. Ms Leibovitz's book is interesting as a document of a period of her life or as a demonstration of love for that matter. As to the pictures, I have mixed feelings. While one has strong portraits of Patti Smith or Merce Cunningham, for instance, Scarlett Johansson's is awful, the model posing in rather an awkward position. No doubt Ms Leibovitz included the material she felt she had to. However I would rather keep the image of Ms Sontag as the physically attractive woman she really was than remembering her in a hospital bed or lying dead.
