Annie Leivovitz

Annie Leivovitz exhibits a selection of 200 hundred photographies in Sala Alcalá  in Madrid until September 19th . I had to be the last, (actually not because there was a huge queue when I got out ), on going to the exhibition. For such a long time have been waiting to the moment to see it and I liked it. Is strange, I had a contradiction about the Leibovitz I could discover and what I red before in several magazines. No glamour further the pictures taken to celebrity, and I have my theory. She lived all that, she took that impressive pictures and been around all the glitter and fame and stuff but, you don´t need to pay attention because it easily shows, in the selection, that she loved Susan, she had  strong sense of belonging to her family and she was hers.

And I think, after loosing her, she realized or reassured herself on how important she was, and yes Nicole Kidman was there like a star, as well Brad Pit, Clinton family  and a long etc but in her very heart is easy to see what is still there.
I say always I´m only human, yes we are.
