Inspired By: Linda McCartney
In the 1960's, Linda Eastman See was working her way through a crumbling marriage and a tedious desk job at Town & Country magazine. After catching a break on board a yacht for a promotion party for the Rolling Stones, Linda started her photography career as she was the only unofficial photographer on board. A popular groupie, and suddenly a professional photographer, Linda often mixed with the likes of Janis Joplin and the Beatles.
In 1969, Paul McCartney and Linda were married, starting a romantic life together that ended with Linda's death in the '90s. Throughout the years of their marriage, Linda continued to work as a professional photographer and activist, all the while capturing intimate moments and home and with friends.
Looking through Linda's photographs, it's really easy to imagine sipping smoothies with the McCartney's, playing with their dogs in the country, and listening to the band practice. Such beautiful moments- I'm sure their family cherishes them even more than the rest of the world.

They are so beautiful together. I love Stella!
These photos are gorgeous, I especially love the feet holding the glass one! Thanks for sharing them
