John Lennon always loved being part of a group. These were his mates, for better or worse.

I had to go back and read what the assignment was again. It said "show us the United States outside of the big cities and the well-known tourist spots. Show us what it's like to live there for ordinary people." Yet the only thing "outside of big cities and tourist spots" where three pictures of southern slums, and two pictures of "ordinary" people that were not in big cities. The rest were five in NYC, five in the well-known gambling towns of Reno, Las Vegas, and Virginia City, six in San Francisco (and I don't consider the Nazi as representative of "ordinary people"). The rest were other big cities and tourist spots.
ReplyDeleteHonest Joe liked him so big letter advertising!
ReplyDeleteSome really fine shots in the group, but would have liked to have seen more from other major cities and certainly more of rural America.
Some excellent photos!
