• McCartney Photo Book (Globe Article Excerpt)

    With disarming modesty, McCartney says, "I'm not setting out to be seen
    as a master photographer, more an occasional photographer who happened
    to be at the right place at the right time. We were just wondering at
    the world, just excited about all these little things that were making
    up our lives."

    Was the young McCartney a great photographer? No, but he was perfectly
    fine: clearly engaged, highly curious, open to experiment without
    getting pretentious. More to the point, he was a photographer with a
    great subject -- as, he says, "in the right place at the right time."
    With photography, more than in any other artistic enterprise, content
    can matter so much it becomes its own form. That's the case here.

    Storm" in today's Boston Sunday Globe.
