Ringo turns 85 today. It was an extremely validating moment when Ringo flashed double peace signs at me, as you never know how a living legend will react to paparazzi. I would have hated to bother him, but instead he didn't seem to mind at all.
Apparently 2013 was a lucky year for me to cross paths with Beatles! Just three months earlier I was lucky enough to cover an event with Paul!
Sir Paul McCartney attends the 23rd Annual Simply Shakespeare benefit reading of “The Two Gentlemen of Verona” at The Broad Stage in Santa Monica, CA. 25th September, 2013.
Paul miming playing is as close as I've come to seeing the Beatles perform live.
But it got me thinking just how many legends of music I have captured pixels of at this job.
Ringo, Paul, Ray Charles, Keith Richards, Jimmy Page, David Lee Roth, Mick Fleetwood, Serj Tankien, Jack White, Slash, Sly Stone, Diana Ross, Ozzy Osbourne, Alice Cooper, Dave Grohl, Lemmy Kilmister, Beyoncé, and Rob Halford to name a few. I'm sure there are more... so stay tuned. Lots more to come!
