Starting Over with John and Yoko: The Photographs
Roger Farrington
Starting Over with John Lennon & Yoko Ono: The History of a Photograph and a Day traces the dramatic story of John Lennon and Yoko Ono's triumphant return to the recording studio after a self-imposed five-year absence. For photographer Roger Farrington, the opportunity to get "the shot" was the assignment of a lifetime. On August 7, 1980, the Boston photographer met the famous couple at the Dakota and documented their fateful trip to Manhattan's Hit Factory, where Lennon and Ono recorded their Grammy-winning LP Double Fantasy.
For Farrington, the whirlwind opportunity would be life-changing in more ways than one. Farrington's photography would land him in a high-profile dispute with notorious publicist Charles J. Cohen.
Things would become even more harrowing with Lennon's assassination only a few months later, an event that would plunge the world into mourning. Working with renowned Beatles scholar Kenneth Womack, Farrington captures the amazing story of working with John and Yoko on that fateful day.
