The photograph that I chose was "My Love London" of Paul McCartney
The photograph was fairly large. It was about two feet tall by three feet wide. The photograph was taken in 1978 by Paul McCartney's wife, Linda McCartney. The photograph is of Paul McCartney and he is looking in the rear view mirror. You can see half of his face in the photograph. The picture is in color. Most of the colors in the picture are very dull. The sky is gray in the photo and the buildings are very dark. The bold colors are concentrated in the rear view mirror of Paul McCartney's face. The bold color stands out in the photograph. The artist printed the picture using Inkjet print.
In the photo Paul McCartney is looking in his rear view mirror. You are only able to see half of his face in the photograph. The setting of the photograph is in London. I feel that the photograph shows an intimate side to Paul McCartney since his wife took the picture. While driving through London, he took the time to look at her in the rear view mirror and she caught it in a photograph.
The artist of this photograph was Linda McCartney. She married Paul in 1969 and later became a member of his band, Wings. Paul adopted her daughter into their family and they had three children of their own. They shared an Oscar nomination for the co-composition of the song, "Live and Let Die."
Quotes from Paul about Linda:
"Every love song I write is for Linda."
"When we went for a drive, Linda always wanted to get lost. I had an in-built panic about being lost. I always want to know where London is. I don’t want to get to, say, Staines and not know my way back. We would go down to the most obscure places, have a great time, find a little tearoom or a riverbank. She taught me little things like that, to relax and be down to earth. It was very valuable to me then, a great part of the healing process after the Beatles broke up ... Linda was a very natural woman. She loved the fresh air and the freedom and the privacy of the countryside ... She was just a great person to hang out with: very funny, very smart and very talented. "
Quotes from Linda about Paul:
"We spend so much time together, because that's how we like it. I never used to go on girl's nights out, even at school. And Paul has never liked going out for a night with the boys, either."
"I wasn't looking for another marriage. I had been married before. He is a nice man -- a geologist, an Ernest Hemingway type. But Paul and I married because of convention."
It was at the Apple press conference that my relationship with Paul was rekindled. I managed to slip him my phone number. he range me up later that day and told me they were leaving that evening but he'd like it if I was able to travel out to the airport with him and John."
