About This Book

Fleeting landscapes ... anonymous pedestrians ... traffic jams ... garish billboards ... fellow passengers. In this very personal "road movie," Linda McCartney takes us along on her drive across the world. Shooting from the car and on the street, she imbues her mostly black-and-white roadscapes with wit, vigor, and a from-the-hip look. Since the early days of her photographic career, when she was shooting for the Fillmore East, and throughout her thirty-year vocation as.

A photographer, Linda McCartney has been unafraid of breaking rules and has possessed a keen eye for the transient moment. These 160 photographs, many taken during her travels around the world, reveal that eye at work. From her telling photographs of Londoners caught in the moment of recognition, children playing in the waves, and a panhandler at a crossroads to those taken on tour with her husband, Paul McCartney, and his band Wings - tired roadies waiting, guitars left.

Leaning, the exultant audience - her work is intuitive, poetic, and always truthful.
