Julians mother Cynthia Lennon

Julians mother Cynthia Lennon, Patti Boyd, George Harrison’s first wife, and Sid Bernstein, 92, the promoter who first brought the Beatles to the U.S., also came to see the exhibit, Lennon’s first. May Pang, Lennons girlfriend during his eighteen month “Lost Weekend” between 1973 to 1975, also attended — making it the first time she, Cynthia Lennon, Yoko Ono, Sean and Julian have all been in the same room together. The photos fell into two categories landscapes, and portraits of celebrity friends like Kate Hudson and U2, shot as they recorded their next album. Lennon said he became serious about his hobby when he spent two weeks on the road with Sean Lennon as Sean toured Eastern Europe. I surprised him on the road, Lennon says. I literally turned up at a gig.Lennon says U2 approached him earlier this summer looking for a studio to finish some tracks. He offered at his 14th century home in the South of France. The Edge came to me and said ‘Please take some pictures, Lennon recalls. Displayed were several intimate black and white shots of the band a close up of Bono’s weathered seeming face, a candid of Adam Clayton sitting alone on a white stairwell, and the Edge sitting in a booth on a plane, with a lyric sheet in front of him. To a degree, it’s a side of the boys that hasn’t been seen before … I just didn’t want to get in the way, Lennon said. The moment I thought there was any heavy air, I would clear out.Pretty early on A certain amount of ambivalence from the label helped that, actually laughs It made me feel we were doing something right — that they werent excited about it Some contrarian part of me was satisfied by that.
