Roadworks

Since the early days of her photographic career, when she was shooting for the Fillmore East, and throughout her thirty-year vocation as a photographer, Linda McCartney has been unafraid of breaking rules and has possessed a keen eye for the transient moment. These 160 photographs, many taken during her travels around the world, reveal that eye at work. This collection of candid glimpses and startling juxtaposition affirms Linda's status as one of the most astute visual chroniclers of our culture.

Photographs

Like the photographer herself, the images in this book are reticent, sensitive and without fuss. Here we have the portrayal of those brief glances of warmth that highlight our daily visual experience and which derive in this case from an intense love of nature.
