“For me, this was a much more personal, emotional and respectful way of being involved, especially with photography as my number one passion these days,” said Julian Lennon, explaining that he attempted to find photographs that in particular “gave me an emotion and told me a bit more of the inside story and what these boys were feeling when they were going through what they were going through. What an incredible experience they had.”
