This accordion was a bit of a surprise to me.
Published by the National Portrait Gallery in conjunction with an exhibition of recently re-discovered photographs taken by McCartney, the exhibition was up from June 28 - October 1, 2023. Documentation of the exhibition [Paul McCartney Photographs] reveals a lively installation with quite distinctive settings for each different series of photographs. This publication displays none of this liveliness and the selection of photographs is nothing special, indeed at least two of them could not have been taken by McCartney as he's in them, and no special effort has been made to utilize the qualities of the accordion format to the book's advantage. A missed opportunity—but then Paul was never my favorite Beatle anyway!!
