Default John Lennon 1940-1980

Tribute: Dec. 9/1980

At The Mike

A day late with this but still a tribute to John Lennon on the 29th anniversary of his death on December 8, 1980.

The first image was taken on Dec. 9th, 1980. I was working the night shift when I heard about Lennon's death so the following day I finished work at 2:00 AM, climbed the only water tower in Guelph and spray painted my tribute to John Lennon. The words stayed up there for almost an entire year before the whole tank was painted over. I took this picture the afternoon of Dec. 10, 1980 - developed the film and printed the picture on some cheap paper I had at the time

The second image is a collage made from original Parlophone EP's from the 1960's. The centre picture of John at the mike is an actual hand autographed print from the original negative taken by German photographer Jurgen Vollmer in the very early 60's in Hamburg, Germany. All are from a vast collection of original Beatles recordings and memorabilia that I have.

Not the greatest images technically but the sentiment is what I want to share.
Thanks for viewing.

Thanks, Brian. There are somedays you're always going to remember with a pang. Thanks for the reminder of someone who greatly enhanced my love of music--still does.
