Sorry. Blind in one eye and can't see out of the other.
I am somewhat familiar with Ian Wright's work from my teen years when I was in a
rock 'n roll band and we all devoured anything we could find about the Beatles &
the rest of the British Invasion, although callow youth that I was, I didn't
learn his name until much later.
All the teenage girls were screaming for the Beatles, so all of us teenage boys
wanted to *BE* the Beatles so the teenage girls would scream for us.

the individual image I bought have been pirated and are on the Pentax forum

copy/paste others’ copyrighted works?? It makes it handy for finding stuff,
but really? A so-called photography forum should know better.]
John, as mentioned in my first note, the photog is Ian Wright. I haven’t been
on his site recently, one item I remember is a link to a local PBS station’s
interview with Ian. Worth a listen IMHO.
My snap of the key part of my new Pentax portrait... Oh, and the camera is
out of focus in the original.

I think the "pirated" image on Pentax Forums is Paul rather than Ringo.
IIRC, all four of them had Pentax cameras during their first American Tour, and
I'm pretty sure they used during the "Ringo's Theme (This Boy)" segment of /Hard
Day's Night/ was a Pentax [although not a functional one].

on a cruise ship with Ian Wright, British photographer as one of the
presenters in the lecture series. His main theme was the Beatles whom he
had photographed extensively. He flashed one slide showing a composite of
“the boys” all showing off their nice cameras. I him asked for a copy of
the print of Ringo and his Pentax, when he got home he printed same and
sent me a nicely matted 8x10. Which I won’t post out of respect for his
copyright… Well, I may do a quickie of the Pentax portion of the print.
Later. stan
