In this day and age of things moving so, so fast, we still long for things to stop, and we as a society love the still image. Every time there is some terrible or great moment, we remember the stills.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
The work which is manipulated looks a little boring to me. I think life is pretty strange anyway. It is wooo, wooo, wooo!
Annie Leibovitz

Computer photography won't be photography as we know it. I think photography will always be chemical.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
When you are younger, the camera is like a friend and you can go places and feel like you're with someone, like you have a companion.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
You have trust in what you think. If you splinter yourself and try to please everyone, you can't.
