I’m watching this video on International Women’s day and it couldn’t have been more appropriate. A well known artist of photography honouring other women (and men).

Annie Liebovitz and Mary Ellen Mark sewed the incredible fascination photography had for me. I was born in the very early 50's so I kind of grew up loving this medium through their eyes.

She is amazing! Thanks for sharing this video.

I appreciate her discussions, her honesty. She chases a rabbit at times but that's just how an artist's mind works I think. All the negative comments here need to understand that she is giving of herself in her art. I much prefer this to staged performances. Thank you Annie Leibovitz I love your work. Inspiring.

Ansel Adam's two most famous pictures were taken from the roof of his car. Tell that to the conservationists. It was a gas guzzling V8 too.

[@PickledDill907]

The hell does any of that have to do with conservation.

[@canturgan]

@@PickledDill907 You can't really pollute the forest and then expect that nobody else will.

She just got lucky, that's all. Whoever made this video, the first 7 minutes 45 seconds need cutting out, along with the rest of this promotional video because it's boring.
