Walk Across Abbey Road in London England

“After walking a few blocks we were at the ‘Beatles Zebra Crossing’, made famous on the cover of Abbey Road. First we walked over to the wall in front of the Abbey Road studio. It was painted white and covered in lots of graffiti. Mostly peoples’ names and dates, so we added ours – Obbie Z and RoZ. Then we proceeded to shoot pictures of each other crossing the road. Obbie went for the classic barefoot crossing. RoZ wore her Doc Martens, which seemed like the right thing to do in London.”

“As I approached the street, an older man welcomed me to Abbey Road and handed me a flyer about a Beatles’ museum down the road. A few groups of tourists were standing on the sidewalk, anxiously waiting for all the cars to pass so they could literally walk in the Beatles’ footsteps. Because I was by myself, I did not get a chance to recreate the photo, but it was still very thrilling to walk across the same street as the best rock band of all time did so many years ago.”
