The Los Angeles Times revels in a new book highlighting the photography of the late Linda McCartney.
From the piece...
Linda McCartney may have married a Beatle, but it was the Rolling Stones who gave the budding photographer her big break. It was 1966, while working as a receptionist in Manhattan, that Linda Eastman, as she was known then, wangled her way aboard a yacht on the Hudson River, a publicity event for the Stones. Soon she was embedded in the late-'60s rock 'n' roll scene, photographing her future husband, Paul McCartney, at a "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" album launch party in 1967.
Thirteen years after her death, Paul McCartney and their children, with editor Alison Castle, have selected more than 300 photos from her archive of 200,000 images to produce "Linda McCartney: Life in Photographs" (Taschen, $69.99).
The 288-page tome is not only a intimate peek at family life with the McCartneys, playing and relaxing at their homes in Scotland, London and Arizona, but also a scrapbook of candid, behind-the-scenes shots of such figures and performers as the Doors, Willem de Kooning, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Tim Buckley, Michael Jackson and Johnny Depp.
