On Tuesday, in Beverly Hills at a private luncheon at the Regent Beverly Wilshire hotel, the famous photographer received the 7^th MOCA Award to Distinguished Women in the Arts.

Here’s what Leibovitz had to say about her achievement, “This award has been given to a great group of women, very distinguished company.” She with excitement, “And here I am in California. This is where I learned to be a photographer.”
