When I mentioned Julian Lennon and his photographs to one person their reaction surprised me. It was hostile. The gist was; “Why should I like his photos because he is someone’s son?” Of course, you shouldn’t. But likewise you shouldn’t hold that against anyone. People cannot help who their parents are.
And Julian Lennon’s photos are good. Do not attempt to judge them by a photo in the newspaper (or even most glossy magazines). Certainly do not attempt to judge them by the crappy video above. DAMNED reflective glass!
Lennon’s photos also incorporate another of his strengths, as a writer. He is something of an overlooked songwriter , most likely because of his famous father. Lines of verse accompany some of his more striking images. Be sure to check out any exhibit of his photos. The relatively small group at the Scope Fair at Art Basel Miami was worth a look.
