The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan (1963) - Album Cover Location

We visited the location in New York City of where the photograph on the cover of Bob Dylan's second album 'The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan' was taken.

Our American excursion continued to onward to New York City. Arguably the most iconic city in the world, everywhere you turn, you can more or less find a spot that has featured in a piece of cinema.

The Exorcist (1973) - Filming Locations

In June 2019, we set off on a road trip across the east cost of America on a film pilgrimage to some of our favourite flicks that where made across the pond. The first stop on our tour was Washington D.C.

Located a mere ten minute drive from the White House, the quaint suburb Georgetown is home to many important cinematic locations, with The Exorcist house/steps arguably being the crown jewel of the area.
