Subject and Artist

The coffee table crushers have started to arrive in advance of the holiday season. First out of the gate, Annie Leibovitz's mammoth tome A Photographer's Life: 1990-2005. While she's best known for her work with celebrities (I think the ultimate Leibovitz photo is not the John and Yoko one, but the Meryl Streep portrait on the cover of a Leibovitz collection from the 1980s.), this book also lets readers into her personal life a bit with portraits of her longtime companion, cultural critic Susan Sontag.
