| Chapter 5 - Taking Photos | ||||||||||
| "Ok guys just one more photo" "This man is really starting to get up my nose now" John said as he glared at Paul and Ringo playing up for the camera again. "We have now done this photo 10 times and it?s still not done!!" "Here this should cheer you up a bit" George relied handing John a funny giggie. "Aahhh" sighed John as he took a large drag/ Soon the other two Beatles had joined George and John. A small crowd of people had gathered around the studios now looking at the Beatles like they were mad. I mean who'd seriously keep walking across a zebra crossing and taking photos. "Right lads" said John standing up. "This is going to have to be our last shot cos more and more people will show up and pretty soon the press will show up!" "Yeah ok!" replied Paul. "Jesus I'm gonna have to take these shoes off! They're killing me!!" "That's another clue then" "What you talking about George?" quizzed John "Well in some parts of the world going bare foot means that you are dead!" "How can you walk bare foot if you're dead?" Ringo joined in. The others just looked at him and just shuck their heads. "Come 'ed! Lets get it other with." John got up and started to walk towards the edge of the pavement. The others followed him with Paul still holding the giggie. "Hey that's mine!" explained George "Not anymore Georgie Peorgie!!" giggled Paul George chased Paul for a bit until John gave George another one. "No smoking it until after the shot ok?" George nodded and stuck his tongue out at Paul. "Places please everyone. Right lads remember last shot so get it right" Yelled the photographer. The four men looked at each other and nodded. They lined up at the side of the road walk walked off the pavement one at a time at 2-second intervals. (ed - I've actually tried this so I know that the timing is right) As all four got into the centre of shot the photographer took the picture!! "Perfect I should have these with you in the next hour. I'll send them back here should I?" "Yeah that should be fine thanks" Replied John as he bounded inside. *********************************** Two hours later the fab four were sat round the table in the studios. "I like this one best!" laughed Ringo The other took a look at the picture that Ringo was holding. It showed the other three avoiding cars while Ringo was stood on the pavement laughing at them. "NO!" yelled the other three "Well since we won't use it I gonna keep it and frame it!!" said Ringo as he slid the picture into his coat pocket. "I like THIS one!" said George. It was the last picture that was taken on that day. "It's OK but I have my eyes closed, no shoes, I'm smoking and there's a bus coming right for me!!" replied Paul "Yeh but it all adds to the death theory. Your eyes closed means your dead. No shoes, dead and your about to be hit by a bus which doesn't really mean much but I think it's funny!" smirked George. "OK that's decided then. That's the photo I send to head office for the album cover?" asked George Martin "Yeh and tell them we want to call it Abbey Road!!" smiled John He looked at the other three who all smiled in agreement!! As they left that day little did the fab four know that what they had done would go down in history forever!!! |
