For some reason "Dr. Fell" felt compelled to remove the sentence that identifies A. Leibovitz as Susan Sontag's lover. He provides no explanation and as the relationship is both important and well documented, I've reverted the article Jliberty 10:13, May 31, 2005 (UTC)

The edit was made because the statement “Leibovitz was the long-term partner of Susan Sontag until Sontag's death in 2004” is presented as an undisputed fact – something it is not. The nature of the relationship between these two women remains a matter of dispute. Until it is otherwise, speculation (even if it is probable) should not be presented as fact. --Dr Fell 21:24, May 31, 2005 (UTC)

I've got it from two sources [1] [2] that Leibovitz was born in Westport. I'm going to change the article back to Wesport unless someone shows me something proving the woman was born in Waterbury... Thesocialistesq 04:10, 13 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The publisher's biography [3] for the new (2006) Leibovitz book, A Photographer's Life: 1990-2005, gives her birthplace as Waterbury, CT. Photoindex21 15:55, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The article is unclear whether all of her children or just Samuelle was born to a surrogate mother. (unsigned comment by Porlob)

Reading the Newsweek article makes it clear that only the twins were born to a surrogate. SteveHopson 20:20, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The A Photographer's Life book has a picture of Leibovitz nude and pregnant with Sarah. There are also pictures, taken by others, from the delivery room although she isn't identifiable. Rove312 23:29, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

i think a picture of annie would improve this article. there wasn't one of her in her women book like i had thought but there are a bunch on getty. anyone feel like taking the initiative to make this happen? 1dsm3 17:01, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the link to David Parsons as it was in fact a link to the English circketer, not the dancer. It seems the other David Parsons currently has no Wikipedia entry.Gregster1978 (talk) 10:57, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the paragraph about Brooke Shields. "This is the first image of a visibly pregnant woman on its cover. Ironic, since Shields also holds the record for the magazine's youngest cover model." Can someone explain to me how this is ironic? The definition of irony is: incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs. I believe the author of the Brooke Shields paragraph has confused irony with coincidence, which is a common mistake these days.
