Dunno if you knew about it but there was an exhibit of linda mccartney's photography in london last year and I quite prefer her work(not just beatles or famous people) to lee miller or annie leibovitz which is/was mostly just prancing around famous people...

Linda McCartney did quite a bit of Alt process cyanotypes and the like

There's more to this photography thing than meets the eye.

I am a huge Lee Miller fan, she was an inspiration to me while I was at college many years ago. She has an incredible eye for natural surrealism.  I saw an exhibition of hers in Oz in like 1997 0r 8 which her son curated, it was very good.

In 1994 I was in New Orleans and dropped into the Photographers gallery on Royal street, more than likely isn't there anymore, Linda M had just opened a show the week before, her and Paul where a bit miffed I couldn't make the opening but you get that. Anyway she had half the gallery space with photos she took before she even new the Beatles, so there were some old classics there, the rest was taken up with a full on Cyanotype exhibition.

It really was fantastic, she had an explanation as to who Henry Foxtalbot was, she had a few photos of her Cyanotype setup and then there was a collection of photos to remind us all she was a successful artist long before she was anything else.

Did anyone possibly record the shows?

Just check, it might very well be already available on either rapidshare or as a torrent.

I liked Linda Mccartney up until towards the end of the programme when she proved she was insane by insisting that alt process prints are made with "minerals not chemicals" like silver nitrate was the example she gave  :o  I'm not seeing how silver nitrate is a mineral nor is the chemicals used for her cyanotypes or platinum prints...  ::)
