i was in luck because of a free exhibition of Mary McCartney's photos at the bookshop gallery. they normally feature artists when they have a book to promote.
Mary McCartney is the daughter of Sir Paul McCartney and his late wife Linda, who also was a photographer and campaigner until her death. Mary is also the sister of UK designer Stella McCartney.
the best luck of all was that i was alone when i stopped by. so i took the opportunity to take some photos of the small gallery.
the gallery..from where i stand
the ever usual self-portrait stance..even the most famous do it;-)
the deserted gallery..i love the peace.
a famous shot of Dame Helen Mirren can be seen from the side..
the iconic campaigner and designer Vivienne Westwood
photos of her family..Stella on a horse..Mary's mum Linda and Stella in one of those intimate bonding moments
and of course, myself.. if you can make me out from the silhouette of shadows, i applaud you, :-)

i would have loved he company,Patricia..i felt lonely that day;-( and YOU of all people are one of my "bucket list" of people to be with;-) it must have been great to spend the afternoon with you;-)
i was looking at her photographs that afternoon and i looked at all the famous people she had photos of, she definitely had an advantage being a McCartney and got her thru the door..but talent made her last this long;-)

Coming from the woman who inspired a culture of photographers in the net, i am flattered;-) thank you,AI;-)
the McCartneys are all artists and they are all talented..can you imagine to have a Beatle as a father and Stella McCartney as a sister..you would have an endless list of photographing opportunities;-)
but you, I have no doubt, you will photograph the same calibre of people one day..i feel it in my water;-)
I didn't realize Stella McCartney, the designer is related to Paul McCartney. Iya diay daughter--wow!
Mary's portraits are amazing, and so are yours! One day, I see myself standing in your gallery taking photos of your work. :-)
