I have Eyes of the Storm and just started to leaf through it and am totally overwhelmed.. it’s way more than I was expecting. I won’t be able to really go through it until tomorrow but just look at how he photographed Jane ..
I kind of love that she’s included .. and the comment about her hair (wonder what she thinks)
And Peter and the view from the back of Wimpole Street .. living for every crumb of detail about the life at the Asher’s.

‘A quiet moment. It was unusual to see Brian out of his suit and in a hotel towelling jacket.’

Touring enabled McCartney to spend more time with people and to get to know them better, including the Beatles’ manager, Brian Epstein. Looking back on the photographs today, McCartney says of those moments, ‘We had all these opportunities: seeing Brian, who we normally just sat and talked business with, but now here he was on tour with us and so we could have a lot of fun… play cards together and eat together, so it was more intimate. We became much more used to each other.’
His affectionate portraits of Epstein are particularly poignant. In one sequence, Epstein laughed in delight as he realised McCartney was snapping his picture.
