It's snowing!!

It's the first proper snow I've seen in almost 3 years! To blame is my temporary move to England and - oh no - global warming. But it seems as if the snow gods are good with us again. So let it snow until we're drowning in white flakes...

Yes, that's my childish side. Juchuuuuuuuuu! Snow ball fights! Punsch!!!

Oh, for a nice and entertaining "christmas" video, watch my favourite english boys here: [link]

Annie Leibovitz at Work
“The first thing I did with my very first camera was climb Mt. Fuji. Climbing Mt. Fuji is a lesson in determination and moderation. It would be fair to ask if I took the moderation part to heart. But it certainly was a lesson in respecting your camera. If I was going to live with this thing, I was going to have to think about what that meant. There were not going to be any pictures without it."
—Annie Leibovitz

Annie Leibovitz describes how her pictures were made, starting with Richard Nixon's resignation, a story she covered with Hunter S. Thompson, and ending with Barack Obama's campaign. In between are a Rolling Stones Tour, John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Demi Moore, Whoopi Goldberg, The Blues Brothers, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Keith Haring, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Patti Smith, George W. Bush, William S. Burroughs, Kate Moss and Queen Elizabeth. The most celebrated photographer of our time discusses portraiture, reportage, fashion photography, lighting, and digital cameras.
