Photographer Mike Mitchell photographed The Beatles during their first visits to the United States in 1964 when he was just eighteen years old, and then left the images in his basement for decades. They debuted at a gallery show in London last month, and they go up for auction in New York next week.
More on the story here, and many of the images can be viewed here.
I love that photograph. On first sight, I think it’s one of my favorite photographs ever. The backlighting! Wow.
