Our first Beatle was Paul McCartney at a party for Rod Stewart And The Faces at The Greenhouse restaurant on Wilshire Blvd in 1975. That was the evening that we photographed Bob Dylan for the very first time. I do not think that we slept for a week after that party.

The next Beatle hose down was around 1976 when we got a tip that George Harrison would be at Chasen’s. Sure enough the tip paid off and we were able to knock off a few black and white frames and some color slides too. It was all about film back then and two cameras.

The jackpot was in 1977 when someone tipped us off that John Lennon was in town and that they were holding a table for him at The Roxy. Oh yeah, we had The Roxy wired with all of the tips. You see our dear friend Michelle Meyer worked at the box office and we would get these tip offs at least twice a week. Anyways, we almost peed in our pants when we saw John Lennon and Ringo Starr arriving and we were the only photographers around!! Incredible how 30 plus years later you still remember these incredible moments. We will never forget these moments ever!

This picture marks an easier time for Paul as he wasn’t the target of so much speculation of his personal life. Recently, since overcoming a troubled divorce and bad press, Paul has been dating 47 year old Nancy Shevell who is said to have obtained the blessing of Sir Paul McCartney’s children. The couple started dating last November, but had only met Stella and not the other children.

‘It was very relaxed and everyone had a great time,’ a source tells the News Of The World.
‘After [Heather Mills], Paul doesn’t want to bring anyone to meet the family unless he’s certain.’
Sir Paul, 66, gave ex wife Heather, 41, a £24.3m divorce settlement.

We wish Paul and his family all the best! We’ll let this foto be what it is; a reminder of amazing talent and a wonderful artist!
