I was over on Strobist the other day, and watched a video about Annie Leibovitz. The actual post is about her newest book, but the video I'm about to show you is one of her other ones on Youtube.com It's about photographers living their lives through the lens....and shows some of Annie's work. Well, right about 1:40 in the video, it cuts to Annie talking while driving down the road. It also shows the interior of Annie's ride.
Now, you know I'm constantly scrutinizing everything about photography, and it's craft.....especially when it's related to making a profit (see original post). And you know I've got to comment on anything that I find to that effect. Well, here goes. You would think that Annie, a household name in the Photography world, would be pimpin' the Rover LR3 or something. I never expected her to be sportin' the 78 Oldsmobile whatchamacallit, with the headliner falling down. This directly relates to this blog, and the photography industry. Is cruisin' in the hoopdee due to a personal choice, or maybe because she spends all her money on Hasselblads.....I'd like to know!
Hopefully it's due to the latter. Take a look and tell me what you think.
You would think, if you had the skills, client list, experience, etc, that she has....you'd be smoking cigars made out of dollars. It kinda makes me nervous....how 'bout you?
