Annie Liebovitz

Going into Hendricks Chapel on thursday night, I knew little to nothing about Annie Leibovitz. All I knew was that she took a series of baby photos and some of them featured Celine Dion. I feel like seeing her in person allowed me to learn more than I could from reading about her on the internet. She is such a laid back and easy going person. It was comfortable and enjoyable to sit there and listen to her and I really liked how she commented on the group feeling like a family with her niece there. My favorite part of the presentation was right at the beginning when she told us the story about her trip to Niagara falls. She put herself under the utmost scrutiny discussing her financial troubles, but I feel like it made people respect her that much more. It is interesting to see such a famous and well-known person struggle so much financially. Too me, it made her seem like a real person and it made her seem grounded. She appeared as your every day person who just happened to be fantastic at taking photographs.
