Title: Not that great a family photo album
Product review: As a somewhat serious hobbyist photographer, I suspected, when I read the negative "family photo album" review, that that person was insensitive to such qualities as fine composition that might distinguish these photos. Leibovitz is a great photographer. I decided to look at the book before purchasing such an expensive book. There is, I am afraid, some merit in the negative comments. Many of the personal life photos do in fact come across as snapshots of no particular distinction. Obviously these photos have great personal meaning for Leibovitz. Some of the reviewers seem to be able to emphathize with that meaning. Perhaps these photos will help some feel better about the quality of their own family snapshots. I would advise people to examine this book before buying, as I did. I chose not to invest in it.
