Tonight's Top Stop: Annie Leibovitz

Map It:  Van Ness 

Photo by Mark Mainz/Getty ImagesPHOTOGRAPHER ANNIE LEIBOVITZ has made a career out of capturing iconic images of icons — among her many familiar pieces are a photo of John Lennon and Yoko Ono taken hours before Lennon's death, a scorched-earth image of Patti Smith and, most recently, Suri Cruise swaddled in her father's coat (while not as well known, this 1975 Leibovitz photo of Mick Jagger is absolutely not to be missed.)

To read a recent Newsweek feature on the photographer, click here. Leibovitz signs her latest book, "A Photographer's Life," which mixes her celebrity shots, photo journalism and equally powerful images of her private life — including heartbreaking photos of her longtime partner Susan Sontag as her health declined — tonight at Politics & Prose. Perhaps you can ask her to take your photo.
