I think you really captured the essence of Leibovitz and her work; even not having seen this exhibit, I could picture it in my mind through your words. Brava! I hope we get to read more from you soon. - Jennifer Sat, 05 Jan 2008 11:21:25 +0100 http://empowerment4women.com/culture/the_feminist_experience/experiencing_annie_leibovitz%3a_a_feminist_perspective/#comment-68 Loved reading your reactions to the exhibition. I saw it over the holidays as well - and I heard Liebovitz talk about it on the Diane Rehm show. I'm conflicted, honestly. Not about her work - I love her work, and in many ways I admire Sontag's work. I'm conflicted about how they characterized their relationship. I understand that it is everyone's responsibility to characterize their own relationship, but it gets under my skin when people are reticent to use the word lesbian. I think that Liebovitz is less reticent than Sontag was. She said on Diane Rehm that "yes, you could say we were lesbians, but Susan never used that word." Well, Susan was happy to make money talking about gay male culture so she wasn't homophobic per se, just reticent about being a lesbian. I don't know, I'm conflicted, as I've said now three times. Your article about it is great though! - Julie Wed, 02 Jan 2008 15:37:56 +0100
