Frame #12

“Watching the Wheels” is a single by John Lennon released posthumously in 1981. The B-side features Yoko Ono’s “Yes, I’m Your Angel.” It was the third and final single released from Lennon and Ono’s album Double Fantasy.

Even though a professional photographer had been hired to take pictures that day for the record sleeve, John told Paul Goresh he could join in and take photographs too. After John’s death, Yoko would select frame #12 from the fifteen images Goresh recorded that day. The 15-frame sequence starts with John and Yoko emerging from the Dakota apartments and ends with the pair getting into a waiting limousine
