Genesis Publications is now taking orders for its new collection of photos by Ringo. Like Ringo's previous two collections initially published by Genesis in limited editions, this one will hopefully be available later on as a more affordable commercial edition. The two editions currently available are, predictably, on the pricey side.
Details:
Following the sell-out success of Postcards From The Boys (2003) and Photograph (2013), Genesis is excited to announce Another Day In The Life
by Ringo Starr. The third in Ringo's series of books presents a
previously unpublished collection of his photographs, introduced and
narrated in his own words.
Featuring Paul McCartney, Joe Walsh and a host of All-Starr friends,
Ringo Starr's 176-page monograph is captioned throughout with an
original commentary that is meditative, witty and always engaging as
Ringo reflects on a legendary life in music.
Collector copies feature Shepard Fairey's cover design reproduced in
blue and red, with a black quarter-leather binding and gilt page edging.
Presented in a cloth-bound slipcase, each book is individually numbered
and signed by the author, Ringo Starr.

"Another Day In The Life"
"I love taking photos of random things, and seeing how
they all fit together. Whether it is at home or on the road, certain
things catch my eye – and when I see something that interests me, that’s
the emotion of it, and I want to capture it. I am a photographer as
well as a musician. I love working with Genesis and had so much fun
putting this collection of images together, both taken by me and a few
collected along the way. I hope you enjoy it too." – Ringo Starr
THE PHOTOGRAPHS
"It's about changing one second so that people think 'peace and love' - it's something I learned from the Maharishi. If you do something for good, the trees, the grass, the whole planet will support you - you're always loved. I live in that world."
Reflecting his love of music, travel and nature, Another Day In The Life shows us the world as seen through Ringo's eyes.
From Los Angeles to Tokyo and everywhere in between, many of Ringo's observational images celebrate the quirkiness of life. Other photographs are taken behind the scenes during historic events, such as Ringo's acceptance of a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and his return to New York's Plaza Hotel, 50 years after The Beatles first visited the USA.
THE MANUSCRIPT
"Who knew the Abbey Road photograph would
be so iconic? We were sitting in the studio thinking, 'We need a cover,
let's go to Hawaii! Let's go to Egypt! Oh, sod it, let's just walk
across the road.' How you feel on the day is what art is about."
EDITIONS
Ringo Starr's signed edition is limited to only 2,000 copies worldwide.
The first 350 copies in the edition, numbered from 1 to 350, are Deluxe

edging. Deluxe copies include an exclusive photographic print that is

rag paper; size: 10" x 8"). The book and print set is presented in a

signed by the author, Ringo Starr.
