Layla's Swinging '60s Photo Show
Pattie Boyd: Aidin Vaziri | Even before she became the subject of lovelorn classic rock staples like George Harrison's "Something" and Eric Clapton's "Layla," Pattie Boyd made a lasting impression. The blond bangs, the cherry-red lips, the iconic Vogue covers: No one better defined high style in the 1960s. For those who have always wondered what the world looks like through the eyes of one of the beautiful people, there is good news. She took pictures. On Valentine's Day, the first public exhibition of Boyd's photographs, "Through the Eye of a Muse," opens at the San Francisco Art Exchange. Now approaching 60, she still can't figure out what made these men who were seemingly at the very height of their creative and commercial powers simply fall at her feet. "It's an obvious question for you to ask and an incredibly difficult and elusive question for me to answer," Boyd says. "I just happened to be there, I suppose, is all I can say."
