It took just 10 minutes for photographer Iain Macmillan to create one of the most famous photographs to come out of the sixties. The date was August 8th, 1969, and Macmillan had climbed a ladder at the end of Abbey Road where he took just 6 images of The Beatles crossing that infamous zebra crossing. From those 6 images, The Beatles chose the above image to feature as their cover for the Abbey Road LP. Since then, this photo has become an icon of it’s era and one of the most imitated images to this date, with bands such as The Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Kayne West and Popular Rock Magazine ‘Rolling Stone’ featuring a Simpsons Cover with Bart, Lisa, Homer and Marge posing as The Beatles strutting down Abbey Road.Pin It
