Annie Leibovitz’s 'Pilgrimage' Through American History

I am currently doing many things right now, and one of them is writing for a journalism scholarship for school. My first article has been printed in their paper, which is distributed to ten campuses statewide, including Chicago. 

The article was a write up about the Annie Leibovitz exhibit currently here in Springfield, IL at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum.

The “Annie Leibovitz: Pilgrimage” exhibit premiered on February 8, 2014, and runs through August 31. The exhibit offers more than 70 photographs from the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s collection.

If you have a chance pop into the Abraham Lincoln Museum and check it out!


Big thanks to everyone I spoke with that helped me out on this article, including Gabe House for helpful peer review, Rachel Douglas for dragging her always-chipper ass out to snap some photos, and Crystal Saint for pointing me in some good directions. 



As always there is more to come...
