Paul McCartney has picked some of his favourite photographs taken by his late
|
|
wife Linda for a new book.
|
|
|
|
The former Beatle and his children, including fashion designer Stella and
|
|
photographer Mary, helped select pictures from an archive of more than 200,000
|
|
for the book which is described as a "lasting testament" to Linda.
|
|
|
|
Paul McCartney said: "From the early days I have very much admired her
|
|
photography and being able to experience it personally only added to my
|
|
feelings of admiration. In those days, it was quite unusual for a woman
|
|
photographer to be working on her own in photography and, in many ways, I know
|
|
she has inspired a large number of female photographers who followed in her
|
|
footsteps."
|
|
|
|
Linda made her name taking pictures of some of the biggest rock stars of the
|
|
1960s and in 1968 she became the first female photographer to take a cover
|
|
shot for Rolling Stone magazine.
|
|
|
|
She married Paul McCartney a year later and they stayed together until her
|
|
death from cancer in 1998.

The book, called Life In Photographs, costs £44.99 and is also on sale in a
|
|
special limited edition for £1,500.
|
|
|
|
One of the book's co-authors, photographer Annie Leibovitz, said: "Her
|
|
pictures are proof of a life well lived. As a woman and as an artist.
|
|
|
|
"Linda McCartney's life became one with her photography. This was more obvious
|
|
later on, but in a way it was true from the beginning.
|
|
|
|
"Linda never stopped taking pictures. She was serious about it."
|
|
|
|
An exhibition of some of the pictures opens in London in June.
