Also it's a shot people can relate to. It's a place where people can still walk." The "backwards" photo is one of seven shots taken by MacMillan of The Beatles crossing Abbey Road and is one of 25 printed.It is being sold by a private collector and expected to earn up to £9,000 ($14,300 USD) through Bloomsbury Auctions on May 22nd.
