Wonderful to see! The quality is great too- seems as if those pictures were taken a week ago.

Not only does George look at ease, but Ringo seems to be enjoying himself too despite the stomach problems he was experiencing. Then again, Ringo was the more jovial of the four in general.

Long time no see, welcome back!

The author talks about Ringo and how he was most at ease with who he was as a person, but I suppose that's to be expected because he was the only one not "searching" for anything.

"Paul Saltzman’s photos of all of us in India, in 1968, are absolutely beautiful. The photo of John, finger to his ear, is the best picture I’ve ever seen of John Lennon from the Beatles’ era—it speaks volumes."

Yeah, the first time I saw that one in the book I thought, 'hey there's Zig.' If I ever get bored of the USS Chicka Ferdy I might have to change my avatar to the Paul equivalent of yours just because there are so many great pictures ...

I like how relaxed and happy George looks in those pictures. He seems less guarded I guess. If you wanted to, you could scan a few pages...

I'll try a little later, but unfortunately the book isn't supposed to leave the library so I'll have to sneak it out. The author talks about George several times in the book and how he was always smiling and just seemed to be at complete ease with himself.

His stint lasted as long as Ringo's did, but he was able to take many photographs which can largely be found here. There are many pictures that I hadn't seen before and there are a ...
