1,000 Words

I've been inspired to buy a camera. Consider me visual, I love pictures, appreciate sunsets and cold, clear days, and pay particular attention to details. Of course this blog will have updates of my visual excursions but in the mean time, please add more math to the hit list for The Big Picture. The pictures are crazy amazing and document the world in 2008 through photography.

From the recent terrorist bombing in Mumbai to the presidential election and even those astronomical events city lights will never let us see. I'm in love again, but this time it's almost tangible. I can't really think of a clever, syntactical way to work in how much I love Annie Leibovitz, I would have to say she began my interest in photography way back when...

Although editorial and almost cliche, Leibovitz is easily my favorite photographer. She's done celebrities from the likes of Michael Jordan, Scarlet Johanson and Jack Nicholas. She's even emabarked on a series of photos that bring animated Disney movies to life using celebrities. I'm waiting to see how she does with Princess and the Frog (upcoming animated film premiering Disney's first black priness). And yes, that's Beyonce as Alice.
