Huh. A cross section of LuLa members are apparently better photographers than Annie Leibovitz.
In Australia we call that the "Tall Poppy Syndrome". If the Olympics gets cancelled we could just award the medals on forum vote.
By "better" do you mean that an organisation that 95% of the population has never heard of has bestowed a plaque, or do you mean they command $12,000 for a session, or just better in their own mind?
If you walk down a street in the US at least and ask people the name of a famous photographer, who do you get? And would it be Ansel Adams over Annie L?
Apparently even though she earnt a lot as a photographer she may not have been good at business. I don't know the details on that.
I also know a guy that was asked to come in and redo a family shoot she did. The customer did not like the style, but that is a personal thing.
