Linda McCartney never leaves home without her camera - even on the way to her own photography exhibits.
Before attending a gallery opening of her work, she and her hubby Paul took a stroll through the French Quarter of New Orleans, where she photographed street musicians, doorways and other subjects. Somehow, the camera helped them escape notice."The camera is my secret," she explained Friday.
"I don't hide behind it. It's not a security blanket, but when I have it with me, I'm thrilled walking down the street. I can see better through the camera - and I'm looking all the time."
The crowds finally approached when they arrived at the gallery by limo.
"Showing up in a limo is not who I am. If you walk, no one notices you," Linda McCartney said.
