John and Yoko at Abbey Road



I actually won a fan photo on ebay! It is shocking! I just won't spend a ton of money on fan photos. Why did fans take photos of the Beatles in the first place? Wasn't it so that they could be shared with other fans? Isn't that why so many fans around the world traded photos with each other? And that my friend is the spirit of this blog and why I have this blog. My original idea was that this could be a modern day way of pen-pals trading Beatles fan photos. And it has turned into that and more. So anyway...I am not going to spend hundreds of dollars on a photograph. But every once in a while I get lucky and my bid wins. And such is the case with this John and Yoko photo. According to the writing on the back, it was taken in August 1969. It isn't the BEST photo in the world, but I like it. :)

    1. Hi unknown! I still have this photo in my collection, so you did not buy it from me. I have seen several copies of this photo around over the years. I still like it a lot.
