That's quite interesting to see. It amazes me how much of a cultural reference point the Abbey Road picture has become. I guess it's at least partly because of the apparent simplicity and spontaneity of the composition. Even now, there are 2 current billboard adverts over here that play on the composition. http://www.campaignlive.co.uk/thework/1286044/ I can't remember what the other one is - I remember the ad because of the cultural reference, but not the product. Hmm, not such a good idea, creative person. It's a very unremarkable crossing. In the 80s I lived fairly near there and used to drive over the crossing most days. It was quite a long time after I moved there before I realised what I was driving over. http://www.abbeyroad.com/Crossing B -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
