A person’s work can only reflect their own personal drives, hesitations and fears — all of the different internal pulls that will balance each other to form an individual’s own approach to life. For me, the best things in life involve sharing. As a mere mortal I am not completely selfless, but ultimately, my goal is to leave behind images that will survive my own ephemerality. I wish for these images to be meaningful enough in themselves to be able to connect with the people of the future.
You are taking a real picture in real time no matter how conceptual it is. ”
Annie Leibovitz, from Taschen’s “Annie’s Album” interview
