A photograph that I like


A photo that I like is one that apeared in the Rolling Stone just after Jhon Lenon's death. He's naked hugging Yoko Ono in a white bed (I suppose that is a bed, maybe is just the floor) and Yoko Ono is wearing black clothes.
The photo was taken by Annie Leibovitz, an important photographer that worked with famous people, but the important think was her particular point of view, a little artistical and very spontanious. In a documentary, many celebrities said that when Annie was arround with her camera, she wasn't impertinent and make people feel confortable. She was able to open people's inside and share them to the world. This quality was an important key to understand her photos.
The curious thing about this particular photo is that it was took a few hours before Jhon Lenons' murder. It was in his appartmen or in a hotel (I'm not sure).
I like this photo because is so...simple. I appreciate the photo for the content, I just look two people that realy care each other and in a very natural way they look for the warm of the othe, I don't like it because of Jhon Lenon (in fact, I don't listen to the Beatles).

  3. jaja, wow. That´s a very important photograph. In the music part, represent an idol. I really enjoy the beatles. But I like wath you said about the other part, the human feelings. But for extrange this sounds I think John gives her everything, it´s like a child in the arms of his mother, but the mother doesn´t respond to him. It´s an intepretation.
    Greetings and also add that the marshmelows (I don´t know the word) are amazing, I have to hide from my mother, really cool gift. Thanks a lot.
    Xao.
