"These photos are stunning, bittersweet visions of a past shared by
all of us." - Tom Hanks. "Brian Hamill is best known as a still
photographer and a photojournalist. But I've always regarded him -
first and foremost - as a master portraitist. And this book bears
that out - capturing as it does, the many-faceted phenomenon that
was John and Yoko - artists, lovers, cultural comrades and - most
elusively - business partners. Behind his camera, Hamill is
something of a phenomenon himself." - Richard Price John Lennon's
life, death and music shaped the world. His reputation as a
philanthropist, political activist and pacifist influenced millions
worldwide. If Elvis was King, Lennon was his rightful successor -
and fittingly, several images in this collection of both classic
and unseen photos show him wearing a diamond-studded 'Elvis' pin
over his heart, in homage to his forefather on the throne of Rock
'n' Roll. John Lennon is seen here in several sessions in New York,
performing on stage, relaxed at home and walking on the street with
Yoko Ono. Renowned celebrity photojournalist Brian Hamill delivers
his own insider view of this Beatles icon, through intense,
intimate photographic portraits and insightful text. Whether Lennon
is dominating the stage, posing on the roof of the Dakota building,
or relaxing with Yoko Ono, Hamill's photography takes this
quasi-mythical figure from the world of Rock 'n' Roll and shows him
as the man he really was. "Brian looked at the John Lennon who had
become an icon and saw instead a familiar face. He saw a
working-class hero like those that built the City of New York. And
so when John Lennon came to live in New York, Brian captured him as
a New Yorker, in the joyous images that you will find in this
book." - Pete Hamill "Lennon, one of the most famous men in human
history, wanted to live as one among many. Of course, he hit it off
with Hamill. The guy that flew so high needed some oxygen. Hamill
is fresh air. His folio of Lennon images shows Lennon focused,
present, but edgy, never relaxed." - Alec Baldwin
