Fantastic shots and love the surprise selfie gift from Ringo, that is really special. Can't believe you only had 4 minutes. I mourn what you would have created within the full 40 minutes...
Wow. Unfucking believable. It took longer to read that than you had with Ringo.
He seems pretty cool and likable, unlike his wife. He knew what you needed. I think he probably respected you more for putting your foot down on needing more time.
Great story and photos! I love that you still have your scrapbook. Such a cool memento of not only your favorite band but the early stages of your photographer’s eye.
I’m actually a subscriber to the print version of The Atlantic (on top of the digital) so I look forward to seeing your shots in print. Fascinating encounter, good job with such a tight leash!!
That’s a story worth sharing: raw, complex, and more engaging than most profiles about him. The images are probably the best I’ve seen of him in the past decade.
It is always an experience meeting our idols - good or bad, it is always an experience! That selfie is absolutely fantastic. So much better than a mere signature. Way cool.
You sound a lot like me. I would most likely shit a gold brick if I ever met Paul or Ringo. Their music is still awesome to me. Paul in concert is like a 50 yo fella; nothing like 83!!

This is an f’ing amazing story.
For four minutes, you certainly got some great shots. I wonder what was going through his head during that time.

Super cool - that image he took of you both is amazing
Wonderful!
omg thank you for sharing this
Nothing like pressure to bring out the pro in you! Well done!

Picture of you and him is great! Shame he messed up with the light fitting - amateurs!
Excellent shots with such a little time. You’re great 🙌🏻🙌🏻
