When it rains it pours. Photographer Paolo Pizzetti filed a $300,000 lawsuit alleging Annie Leibovitz infringed his copyrights by reproducing photos he took in Venice and Rome for a calendar commissioned by the Lavazza coffee company.

More from The Guardian.

On an unrelated matter, the Los Angeles Times has a nice summary of the other nightmare facing Leibovitz. Leibovitz faces a Tuesday deadline to repay a $24-million loan from a New York art-finance company, Art Capital Group, which advanced her that sum last year after Leibovitz posted as collateral basically everything she owns — not only her two homes but every photographic image ever taken by Leibovitz, past, present, and future.
