Hanks a Lot

"When I began thinking about the cover idea for Tom Hanks," says Annie Leibovitz, far right with James Porto, a pioneer in digital photography, "I was excited about working in a more illustrative way using the modern darkroom— a computer." Tom Hanks sits in a custom-built tank in a combination of blue bath oil and half-and-half. "I wanted to capture Tom's dreamerlike quality through the use of clouds," she says.
