Behind her Lens

Anne Leibovitz is a world renowned photographer that is well-known for her photographs of famous people. Recently she has taken some buzz-worthy photographs that I really, really like and thought I would share, just in case you haven't seen them.

The first set is for Disney for their Year of a Million Dreams campaign. Celebrities pose as beloved Disney characters. Only a few ads have been released so far, but 10 or 12 (including Peter Pan and the Little Mermaid) are in development. They are absolutely breathtaking.

Scarlett Johansson as Cinderella wearing a $325,000 tiara from Harry Winston

Soccer star David Beckham as Sleeping Beauty's Prince Phillip

Spinning in a teacup are Beyonce Knowles as Alice, Oliver Platt as the Mad Hatter and Lyle Lovett as the March Hare

The second are the current Vanity Fair covers. The issue is all about Africa. She shot 21 different covers with different well-known individuals having THE conversation we should probably all be having. (I think I am going to go pick this one up and give it a read). Again, genius on her part...check out all 21 covers they are best viewed all together to get the full affect.

Awesome photos! Thanks for sharing. Your kids are as adorable as ever. My little guy (Tristan, 3 1/2) says, after he hasn't seen us for a few hours, GOOD TO SEE YOU! Big hug. It's dang cute. Gotta love those tender moments.
