"I thought John & Cynthia were brillant together. Despite everything that's been said about them since, they seemed to be a perfect couple. This was at their home. I decided to shoot them as a kind of emblematic family. Cynthia with a mop, John with a workman's tool, and Julian with a gold spoon, as the child who has been born into the rich set-up. We set it up as a kind of theatre-piece, and John loved it. As soon as he saw the hoe, he grabbed it and said, 'I'm the breadwinner here, you know.'"
Photographer Robert Whitaker passed away today. He had taken a lot of photos of the Beatles in a few short years on tour and at home. He was a great photographer, I enjoy many of his photos as they've been up there time to time. God bless and rest in peace.
