Post 5 (week 9) >> "A photograph you like"

Hi 
Today  I'm going to talk of “Abbey Road” of the Beatles, the album cover most famous in all the world

The front cover design, a photograph of the group on a zebra crossing, was based on ideas sketched by McCartney, and taken on 8 August 1969 outside EMI Studios in Abbey Road. At around 11:30 that morning, photographer Iain Macmillan was given only ten minutes to take the photo whilst he stood on a step-ladder and a policeman held up traffic behind the camera.

In the image, the group walk across the street in single file from left to right, with Lennon leading, followed by Starr, McCartney, and Harrison. To the left of the picture, parked next to the zebra crossing, is a white Volkswagen Beetle motor-car which belonged to one of the people living in the block of flats across from the recording studio.

Why do I like this photography?  Old man, are the saints beatles!
