Annie Leibovitz


Anna-Lou "Annie" Leibovitz was born in 1949 in Waterbury, Connecticut. Annie was enrolled in the San Francisco Art Insitute intending to study painting. I was not until she traveled with her mother to Japan she discovered an interest in taking photographs. When she returned Annie started taking night photography classes. In the 1970's Annie started working for Rolling Stone her first cover was with John Lennon. Ten years later Annie took more photos of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, who had recently release their album "Double Fantasy." For this portrait Annie wanted both Lennon and Ono to be nude but, Ono refused to be. The result showed Lennon nude and curled around a fully clothed Ono. Several hours later John Lennon was shot dead out in front of his apartment. This photograph ran on the cover of Rolling Stone with no other words than the logo.

National Geographic

I was originally going to just choose a couple of photographers from National Geographic but, It was just way to hard to narrow down to just two. There are so many amazing, outstanding, and absolutely stunning photographs to choose from. There are photographers, photojournalist, scientist, a whole TV network, producers, all kinds of editors, the list just goes on and on. So, as you can see it is very hard to just pinpoint just one. Here are some of the photographs that I have enjoyed.  PHOTOGRAPH BY MILAN RADISICS, WILD WONDERS OF EUR   OPE Victrica Falls Photograph by J.

Joe Rosenthal

Joe Rosenthal was a photographer, reporter, and honorary marine.  His photograph is one of the most iconic photograph's ever. It is the Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima . In doing research about Joe he was rejected by the U.S. Army as a photographer because he had poor eyesight. So, he attend the University of San Francisco  later he joined Associated Press and fallowed the United States Army and U.S. Marine Corps. When Joe took this ionic photo it was in the middle of chaos. The first rising of the flag he did not get but he was so focused of getting the right shutter speed on his Speed Graphic he ended up getting the second shot.  Speed Graphic Camera source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Rosenthal
