Paul McCartney’s Photos at the Brooklyn Museum

This exhibition of McCartney’s photos is titled: 1963–64: Eyes of the Storm. It was the period when the Beatles hit it big, starting when they left Liverpool. They began to perform internationally, first in Europe and then in the United States.

The photos are the equivalent of home movies—Paul’s take on what was swirling around them. They look so young, but that’s the image I have in my mind.

My favorite part of the exhibit is a clip of the Beatles on their first appearance on the Ed Sullivan show. I remember it as if it were only last year.
