Of course everyone wonders how a photographer who earns six figures per day, and seems to shoot eight days a week, ends up in the hole?!? There was a while where some believed that her troubles began due to her inheritance of property from Susan Sontag. As it looks now, Annie acquired very little from Susan – and nothing of any monetary value. It’s now widely believed that Annie’s financial problems stem from nothing more than extreme financial recklessness.

“On Friday, October 11, 2002, Kellum was busy coordinating Sarah’s [Annie's daughter] first birthday party, scheduled for the next day in Rhinebeck. The plans included a petting zoo and performances by hipster kiddie singer Dan Zanes and country singer Rosanne Cash, who was being flown in to sing Sarah’s favorite lullaby.”
The rest of the NY Mag story can be found here.

While her more commercial work is not always my cup of tea, I find a lot of it to be simply amazing. I will point to some of her works which I love here, here, here, and here.

Here are a few video clips…
