LINDA'S PHOTOGRAPHY
Back in 1966 a young Linda Eastman was working as an
office assistant at the glossy New York society magazine Town & Country.
One Summer day in June 1966 she opened an invitation to a press reception
that was being given on a yacht for the Rolling Stones to promote their new
album Aftermath. Linda decided to take up the invitation herself as she was
quite sure that no-one else on the staff would really like to see The Stones
anyway. So off she went to the Press reception armed with her trusty Pentax
and shot around 6 rolls of film of the band. And the rest as they say is history.
Linda's photos of the Rolling Stones remain some of the best ever shot of
the group, if not the best. These photos were the beginning of a career that
was to last her lifetime with her photographing everyone from The Beatles
to Jimi Hendrix to Janis Joplin to Ray Charles, the list goes on and on. Besides
snapping the famous she also took some magic photos of her family or whatever
subject appealed to her at the time. All of her photos have stood the test
of time and Linda remains today one of the most influential photographers
of our time.
