This Was An Incredible Moment

If you wanted to retire in the photo business back in the Seventies you had to get exclusive photos of either Howard Hughes, Elvis on the beach in a Speedo or all of the Beatles together in one photo.

By the time we took this photo of Yoko, John Lennon and Ringo Starr on the Sunset Strip in 1976, the Beatles had broken up and there was always speculation that they would get together and have a secret concert at Doug Weston’s Troubadour. If you had managed to have gotten a photo of the Fab Four together it would have pulled in a ton.

Half of the Beatles was not enough to retire on, but it made a few grand and that was a ton back then. This photo is still selling, but mostly in gallery shows.
