Gorbachev, Vuitton, Leibovitz

I think this photo is fantastic. Sometimes I think her stuff is over-rated, but Annie Leibovitz really got a great shot, here, particularly considering the fact that it's a luggage ad.

This is the stuff law students wishing they were doing PhDs in art history live for lol

I'm impressed with the references to both Bush's Cold War politics and themes of escape, corruption, wealth etc. in post-Soviet Russia...his reflection in the graffiti on the wall. It's a brilliant image.
