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.
