Terry O'Neill, the photographer, was born 1938 in London. O'Neill got into photography when he was offered the job in the airline's photographic area. So going into the photography field was unexpected. Once he was able to get to the United States he started to photograph for many stars in Hollywood. O"Neill was even doing shoots for Playboy. Today, he is still carrying his career with the media such as newspapers and magazines.
"The crowd of 75,000, which was record breaking at the LA Dodger Stadium. I think it is a fantastic collectors item!" -Richard Evans, Legendecelebrityart.com
In this photo by Terry O'Neill, shows Elton John leaning on a piano wearing a baseball uniform. It is said that this photo holds the memory of the first two historical concerts ever held at the LA Dodger Stadium.
Terry O'Neill has brought such a memory from the past! With this image he is giving the viewers part of classical rock and roll history. This photo gives me an insight to that Elton John is really considered such a great artist of his time due to the photo O'Neill was able to capture. It connects to the theme because Elton John is just not a push over artist, but one of the talented classical rock and roll artist to be. And O'Neill has proven the point with his photo he presented with the crowd of thousands in front of Elton John. I chose this work because I found it to be amazing of how O'Neill caught the moment that many will remember forever in the history of rock and roll.
