Sentimental Journey is a collection of photographs of their honeymoon and Winter Journey is a photo diary of Yoko’s final months before passing away in January, 1990 of Ovarian Cancer. “ If I hadn’t documented Yoko's death, both the description of my state of mind and my declaration of love would have been incomplete. I found consolation in unmasking lust and loss, by staging a bitter confrontation between symbols.“
