It’s 1972, the year of Watergate, The Godfather and Exile on Main Street. On a suburban Maryland lawn, a young Anna-lou Leibovitz peers into her Nikon as members of her family scramble into place. As they pose, an ever-present Super 8 camera captures the scene. Although Leibovitz is a Rolling Stone magazine photographer, this event - her first turn as the official family photographer - is as important to her as any arena concert or movie shoot.
Flash forward 34 years to 2006. This time, the now-famous photographer is on the other side of the lens. And this time, her younger sister Barbara is pointing the camera, documenting the life and times of Annie Leibovitz for AMERICAN MASTERS. Annie Leibovitz: Life Through A Lens airs for THIRTEEN’s SundayArts, July 5 at noon.
