Annie Leibovitz world renowned recognition and status is well deserved and earned. I appreciate her work ethics, candidness, decisiveness, and methodological approach for each of her projects. I believe her family and educational background enabled her to pursue what she loves. Her travels, projects, and assignments enables her to be with highly powerful people, government officials, politicians, actors/actresses, models, royalties, etc. She has attained such high social and cultural capitals, worldwide, which makes her a "pioneer" in my books.
