Linda McCartney: Life in Photographs

"Simplicity is the answer for me." - Linda McCartney...

Now that explains the beautiful yet simple photographs at the exhibition Linda McCartney: Life in Photographs. Linda McCartney (1941 - 1998) was an active and admired photographer for over three decades. Her large body of work is known for its celebrated portraits, a wide range of subject matter, spontaneity and a lack of pretension. This exhibition was held at the Bonni Benrubi Gallery in New York, NY. A quiet and small gallery that by just walking through the door one can see its entirety. It was a perfect space to see McCartney's whole life on film: rock and roll portraits, her family, travels, celebrities, animals, and still lives. Her fresh and candid photographs display warmth and feeling for her subjects and are a strong and lasting reminder of her life's journey and her artistic talent. Each photograph had its own story, an individual emotion which translated into a beautiful display. There was a photograph that took the space of a whole wall titled My Love, which was of her husband Paul, it was the definite favorite. Her daughter Stella had to say these words in respect to the exhibition "I've been inspired by it but more so for capturing an emotion rather than a jacket that dad's wearing or a pair of boot from the 60s. It's much more about a way of life and this effortlessness."

Lennon said "life is what happens when you're making plans" this
exhibition exemplifies that and reminds us to take time and enjoy every
moment of our lives.
