I scummed through the book at a library and was unimpressed. Karsh and many others made great photographs of celebrities, Leibovitz did not. Karsh's autobiography was interesting, the Leibovitz book was not to me. A competent photographer should be known for photographs, not for connections to celebrities. However, her fame does give her better opportunities than other paparazzi have.
