Leibovitz Hits Loan Deadline

Can Annie pay in time to keep her photos?

This is just not Annie Leibovitz's week—and it's only Tuesday. Tuesday is the deadline for her to repay $24 million in loans or risk losing her homes and the rights to a lifetime of photographs. The looming deadline comes after Monday's revelation that she's being sued for copyright infringement. (Italian photographer Paolo Pizzetti has filed a $300,000 suit against Leibovitz over a Lavazza coffee promotional calendar.) It's unclear what, if anything, Leibovitz will do about the debt. But if the photographer does not get a loan extension, lender Art Capital has said nonpayment gives it the rights to her negatives, intellectual property, and homes.
