Sherry LaVars took a slew of really fine portraits of Annie Leibovitz for the Contra Costa Times. Leibovitz' exhibit "A Photographer's Life, 1990-2005" will be at the Legion of Honor in San Francisco until May 25th. Sherry said she was so nervous on her way to the photo shoot that upon arrival she locked her keys in the car (cameras within). I thought I only did stuff like that. AAA came quickly to save the day and Sherry told me that Ms. Leibovitz was easily one of the nicest people she's ever met. That doesn't surprise me. Some people exude niceness and it's always a treat to work with them, however briefly.
