Help from my friends



As I am sure you all know by now, this photo was posted on Miss Tammy's Beatles photo blog.   Kevin from WGYTTN sent me this information about the photo:

"This photo of John Lennon and Yoko Ono was taken outside the Sherman Grinberg Film and Tape Library in NY the Friday before John was Murdered. Pic was taken by the building maintenance guy in the hallway outside of Sherman Grinberg Film and Tape Library at 630 9th Ave,NYC Dec 4th 1980" James Smith

The question still remains:  who is the girl posing with John and Yoko and who is the man trying to photobomb this photo?

    2. Oh waaaaa-waaaaaa-waaaaaa, if you don't want something to pop up on a blog, don't post it on the internet.

      "I know who they are cos I posted it on the Lennon page first", well, by all means, don't give us a link, or give US the information. No, that would be too easy! I see you like to frequent the page, but give nothing back, huh?

      Congrats, friend, you just won the Dave Dexter Award for most obnoxious comment of the week!

      Hey, I sure hope you had a similar attitude on the Beatles Photo Blog, which is where I just saw this picture earlier today. Didn't see any obnoxious comments over there. You might want to do a search of every blog on the internet, you never know who's reposting it.

      (Sara, you have nothing to apologize for).

  3. I wish people would grow up with this "who posted first" thing: you didn't take any of the photos!

    1. You know Lizzie, this is something I personally struggle with. I have been trying my best in 2014 not to make a big deal out of it anymore.

      Here is my side of it all. If I spend my money and buy a Beatles photo, scan it and "fix it up" and then post it on this blog, it is very discouraging to find that photo on someone's blog the next day. On this other blog, people are commenting on it with comments like "wow...amazing...great job" and you see that it has over 10,000 "likes." I look at the photo on this blog and I see that it has had about 20 hits and zero comments. I know that I did not take the photo or own the rights to it, but it is just discouraging to me to do all of the work and someone else gets all of the glory. As I said...I have been working on not complaining about this and just being happy that Beatles photos are being enjoyed.

      The REAL problem I have is when someone sends me a photo or I ask permission to post a photo that someone personally took and then the exact same thing happens. If I give a photo credit to someone, I think it should be copied on another blog.

      Alright...enough of my rant.
