Annie Leibovitz: Brother Philip and My Father,1988.The modern Annie sharpshooter is of course Annie Leibovitz who has now a big exhibition A Photographer's Life 1990–2005 in the new Fotografiska museum in Stockholm. Most of her celebrity portraits are so well-known and polished that they seem a little bit dull. Her personal work – family, friends, landscapes - is the jewel of this exhibition. The most impressive picture was the prolonged one of dead Susan Sontag dressed in a fashionable gown she was buried in. It reminded me of the sarcophagi we see in old churches, a monument to honour life and death.
The last day to see Annie´s pictures in Fotografiska, Stadsgårdshamnen 22, quite close to the Viking Line boat terminal, is Sunday 12th September.
