Meet Eddie Leibovitz: Less-famous brother of renowned rock photographer Annie Leibovitz. While never as celebrated as his wildly successful older sibling, Eddie has managed to carve out quite a niche for himself in the field of Nosebleed Photography.Eddie Leibovitz explains:
Oh sure, big sister Annie has created hundreds of iconic portraits of folks like Sting and Johnny Cash and John Lennon, and yeah, Annie gets all the backstage passes to the biggest concerts, and yeah, you go to Annie's big expensive house and trip over all her awards that she uses for door stops, and yeah, Annie's always giggling while she gets instant-messages from Bob Dylan. But really though, how hard can it be to get an in-focus shot of Steven Tyler when you're like three feet away?For me, Eddie Leibovitz, the real art emerges while you're up in the nosebleed seats of Madison Square Garden armed with a Kodak Instamatic and a box of flashcubes. In the Blue Section, details tend to fall away, thus allowing you to ponder the pure existentialism of the moment.
