This isn't a commercial/profit blog, I do not make any money from this blog. I post photographs I like and am inspired by to show to my followers, in the hopes that they like them and are inspired by them as well. I do not wish to profit or gain from posting others' works.

John Lennon - Mind Games
From the album “Mind Games”
From the booklet of the “Lennon Legend” DVD:
On November 15, 1974 a BBC film crew, directed by John, spent a day with him around Central Park and various other locations in New York, to make a video for “Whatever Gets You Through The Night”. The video was never broadcast, but a small amount of the footage emerged as a very short edit for “#9 Dream” in February 1975. We unearthed all the original camera film reels from the day, which were very aged and damaged from decay and scratching, cleaned them up, and discovered incredibly charismatic footage of John, obviously greatly enjoying himself on a sunny day out.
