I've recently read an interesting biography of Leni Riefenstahl
('Leni' by Stephen Bach), and watched the fascinating video-bio 'The
Wonderful Horrible Life of Leni Riefenstahl'.
Susan Sontag first praised Riefenstahl in the 1960s, then buried her
in the 1970s, and this fascinates me because her long-time partner,
Annie Leibovitz, is very clearly influenced by Riefenstahl in a lot of
her photography - but particularly her Olympic Portraits. Which must
have made for some interesting conversations in the Sontag / Leibovitz
household.
Anyway, while googling around for more about Leibovitz and Riefenstahl
I stumbled upon the following monstrosities from Leibovitz's camera.
Don't look unless you have a strong stomach:

I don't know which is the greater crime against good taste, that or
Triumph of the Will.
