Condolences
I just found out about the disaster in Japan, and would like to express my condolences to those there, or who know people there.
I don't have anything prepared for this (how could anyone anticipate this?) I feel stupid now for having invested so much effort on dedicating the day to something that happened nearly a decade ago.
In Memoriam
A los hombres y mujeres caídos en sus trabajos aquel jueves, siete años atrás.
(To the men and women lost at their jobs on that fateful Thursday, seven years ago).

The Leibovitz photos
![Image: Annie Leibovitz, a 61-year-old, bespecled woman with a prominent nose, sits in a directors chair wearing a 62-carat, diamond tiara. Her palms are pointed to the heavens, as if to say "all done!"e; To her left, on a draped pedestal, there is a high-heeled, glass slipper.
Behind them both, Actress Scarlett Johansen runs hurriedly down an old-style garden staircase; looking around for her carriage to escape from the Disney World castle. She wears the same tiara and her ball gown flows behind her, up the steps. On the landing behind her, the same glass slipper can be seen, highlighted by a spotlight.

Annie Leibovitz made headlines last Friday with her awesome series of photographs of famous Disney films with live actors and actresses.
Leibovitz has been in the "too awesome for words" photography business since she got her degree in painting from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1969, and had already done a series of photographs in 2007 as part of the extended celebration of Disneyland's 50th anniversary called "Year of a Million Dreams"*. So, the photos are basically really expensive advertisements that we've already seen before
This begs the question, why is this news?
