Hailed and renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz took pictures of Chelsea Manning for Vogue in September 2017. Manning is back in jail after refusing to testify before a grand jury about Julian Assange.
Leibovitz photographed Kirsten Gillibrand for Vogue in November 2017. Her presidential campaign has stumbled out of the gate and Gillibrand is at the tail end of a large pack of candidates; earlier this month the New York Times wrote that her campaign is “struggling.”
Leibovitz photographed lawyer Michael Avenatti for Vogue, October 2018. Avenatti now faces charges of wire fraud, bank fraud, embezzlement, 36 additional financial-crime charges, including stealing money from clients.
1 Leibovitz photographed Beto O’Rourke for Vanity Fair in February 2019. His presidential campaign also stumbled out of the gate, and he’s now considered such a second or third-tier candidate that no one’s looking for opposition research on him anymore.

Next up, Joe Biden
That is a quote or maybe an IanBremmerism.
I was gonna book her to photograph me at my retirement naked tour. I decided I take lousy pictures, I hate to make people sick, and Joe Biden is much more photogenic. I figure old Joe can carry the bucket. Hee heeheeee

Annie Leibovitz is just the channeler of the Trump Curse!

On December 8, 1980, Leibovitz had a photo shoot with John Lennon for Rolling Stone, and she promised him he would make the cover. ........................ John said, ‘You’ve captured our relationship exactly. Promise me it’ll be on the cover.’ I looked him in the eye and we shook on it.”[14] Leibovitz was the last person to professionally photograph Lennon;he was shot and killed five hours later.[15]
Bonus. Never want to get shot with your junk hanging out. Go crazy Uncle Joe.
He had one in Feb. 2019.
Reading just the excerpt makes me think that it seems like an episode of The Twilight Zone...
You’re starting to have fun again Grampa, I can tell.
Good thing none of those elitist rags are featuring Melania, then.
I remember you and I a few years ago discussing Annie Leibowitz on a thread when she lost all her money and the rights to her catalog. She really seems to be radioactive.
