Mon. Nov. 24 Quick: Name the best-known living photographer. Nine out of 10 you will say Annie Leibovitz. Many of you remember her from her Rolling Stone days - the classic naked J ohn Lennon folded into Yoko, taken just before his assassination, published just after - and the many she's done for Vanity Fair: Kate Moss, Queen Elizabeth, William S. Burroughs, the pregnant semi-nude Demi Moore, the not-as-naked-as-everyone-thought Miley Cyrus, Mikhail Baryshnikov. The list goes on forever. Leibovitz is genius. She and her subject make statements, however profound or whimsical. She writes about her experiences in "Annie Leibovitz At Work," and she comes to the First Parish Church Monday Nov. 24 at 7 to discuss her work. Admission is $5. Bad news: The talk is officially sold out, which means - sigh - you might have to go on Craig's List to find somebody willing to part with a ducat or stand in the cold outside the church with a doleful look, or $20 in your hand. It's sponsored by the Harvard Book Store. 3 Church St., Cambridge, 617-661-1515 www.harvardbookstore.com
