Goodbye Thread

[Ruffian of Old]

I gotta go get ready for school again tomorrow. Besides, Susie violated me. Mentally.

Good night comeback-queen-too-tired-for-a-comeback.

May you dream of bubbles and rose pedals and Canadians...

[Bella]

Gotta go... hubby's home.

Night all!

I'm assuming you are talking about Annie Leibovitz. Actually, though she has done some people nude, that is not what she is known for. In reality, most of her portraits are not nude, so don't set your hopes on seeing Apolo nude.

Annie Leibovitz is perhaps the most famous living portrait photographer. Her shots of celebrities, including musicians, politicians and athletes, have been celebrated worldwide. Leibovitz strives to incorporate the public persona of her subject into each of her photos. Rather than static headshots, Leibovitz often uses her subject's entire body, most often while in motion, to dispel any artificial qualities, so more likely than not, Apolo will be shot skating. Leibovitz has photographed for magazines as well as prestigious advertisers, such as Gap and American Express. The photo shoot for Apolo was for the Red campaign spearheaded by Bono in conjunction with these and other companies. She is one of only two living photographers to have had an exhibit at the National Portrait Gallery. She also had one here in Dallas at the Womens Museum which is a part of the Smithsonian. It was absolutely fantastic.

But he did say it was unlike any other photo shoot he'd been involved in. That's why it's fun to let our imaginations wander. After all, this is one of her most famous pics:

I'm swearing off naked guys for at least a week after that. That, was gross - John Lennon as Yuki Ohno's obscene growth/tumor. Somebody please post something to clear that from my mind.

I mean Yoki Uno or Yugi-oh or Yuck You-know or whatever her name is.

Some far more representative Annie Leigovitz photographs.
From her collection named "Women". I gave my sister a copy of this book for Christmas a couple of years ago.

Is it intended to be tender or pathetic? Is she intended to be cold and unfeeling and "not now, John, I have a headache?"
