Photography and Autobiography
Boyd exhibited photos of Harrison and Clapton at the San Francisco Art Exchange on Valentine's Day 2005, with a show entitled, Through the Eye of a Muse. The exhibition also appeared in San Francisco and London during 2006, and in La Jolla, California in 2008. Boyd's photography was shown in Dublin and in Toronto in 2008 and at the Blender Gallery in Sydney, Australia and in Almaty, Kazakhstan in 2009 and 2010. Her exhibit "Yesterday and Today: The Beatles and Eric Clapton" was shown in Santa Catalina Island in California, and at the National Geographic Headquarters in Washington, DC in 2011. Boyd published her autobiography, Wonderful Today: George Harrison, Eric Clapton, and Me, in England and in the US (under the title, Wonderful Tonight), in 2007. The book includes some of her photographs and was released near the same time as her ex-husband, Clapton's autobiography. In the United States, Boyd's book debuted at the top of the New York Times Best Seller list.

Famous quotes containing the word photography:
“If photography is allowed to stand in for art in some of its functions it will soon supplant or corrupt it completely thanks to the natural support it will find in the stupidity of the multitude. It must return to its real task, which is to be the servant of the sciences and the arts, but the very humble servant, like printing and shorthand which have neither created nor supplanted literature.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
