John Lennon’s former girlfriend, May Pang, is publishing a book next March of photos she took of the former Beatle.

“Instamatic Karma” contains 150 pictures, Pang says, which she took of Lennon in 1973 and 1974. Among the shots are John with Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr and of Lennon at work recording his “Walls and Bridges” album.

May has just put up a Web site, too. It has accompanying music, but don’t worry, none by Lennon.

One thing that’s guaranteed: May’s relationship with Lennon will never be acknowledged by Yoko Ono. And that’s ironic, since May was Yoko’s assistant, and it was Yoko who sent Lennon off with her in 1973.
