Briefly about Linda's photography:
Beginning in the mid 1960s, Linda began a career as a photographer, landing with
Town & Country
, where she soon gained assignments to photograph various musicians and entertainers. By the late 1960s, she was a regular fixture at the
Fillmore East
, a New York concert venue, where she became the unofficial house photographer, photographing numerous performances at the legendary club, and was the first woman to have a photograph on the cover of the influential music journal
Rolling Stone
. Her photographs were displayed in galleries and museums such as the
Victoria and Albert Museum
, and were collected in several books.
On May 15, 1967, while on a photo assignment in London, Eastman met Paul McCartney at
the Bag O'Nails
club, where
Georgie Fame
was performing. They met again four days later at the launch party for
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
at
Brian Epstein
's house. When her assignment was completed, she flew back to New York City.
