Happy Anniversary to my in laws Stella and Sol Aroesty. They celebrated 60 years marriage yesterday. I should have been more punctual about this but it slipped by me.
August 8 also commemorated the day in 1969 that photographer Iain Macmillan shot the Abbey Road album cover (click here for info.) I knew all about the front cover shot and its details but never knew that the back cover was the result of a mistake:
“After the shoot Iain went to find a road sign for use on the back cover. It was taken on the corner with Alexandra Road. During photographing the sign, a girl in a blue dress walked through the shot. Iain was angry but later it was chosen as the back cover. (Wikipedia.)
Like every other goofball tourist who’s ever been to Abbey Road, here’s a photo of yours truly making the trek. Leads me to conclude that maybe a girl in a blue dress should have walked in front of me.
