Another Day In The Life

by Ringo Starr

“This is a way of putting my life out there, because if I were to write a memoir, there’d be five volumes before I got to The Beatles. So I’m going at it this way, through photographs and quotes. And this is, I feel, a better way for me to do it.” – Ringo Starr
 
"Ringo’s picture book, Ringo in book form. The essence of Ringo.” – David Lynch
 
Another Day In The Life is introduced and narrated by Ringo Starr, with forewords by legendary movie director David Lynch and rock photographer Henry Diltz. Ringo shows us the world as seen through a Starr’s eyes, in more than 500 observational photographs and rare images from the archives, and an original text of nearly 13,000 words.
 
From Los Angeles to Tokyo and everywhere in between, Ringo’s photographs celebrate his life in music and offer a glimpse behind the scenes. Many are taken 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.
 
Another Day In The Life , Ringo Starr’s 184-page monograph featuring Paul McCartney, Joe Walsh and a host of All-Starr friends, is captioned throughout with an original commentary. Meditative, witty and always engaging, Ringo reflects on a legendary life in music.

Reviews

[David Miller · Rating 3 out of 5]

A scrapbook of odds and ends, whatever's caught Ringo's eye over the years. Selfies on cellphones share the pages with more studied compositions and images of hisyorical interest. Along the way, Ringo shares some anecdotes and remembrances, without going into too much detail.

Along the way, I learned that Ringo is apparently close with director David Lynch, which I would not have expected. Lynch writes a short foreword which is honestly kind of bizarre. Go figure.

There are some pretty neat pictures here, but I do think the book's primary appeal is its presentation of Ringo's personality, rather than his excellence in the photographic arts.

This is like looking at the photos of a friend who sort of knows how to take photos. It's neat because they're from Ringo, but most of them are just random animals and various objects. There is even included a page of pictures of food with before and after pictures of plates.

Another brilliant one from Ringo. I loved the photos, and the stories. Love this book.

Not a book I'd buy for my coffee table, but it was fun to go through-profits to charity and Ringo preaching peace and love

[Kathryn Vercillo · Rating 5 out of 5]

Intriguing to see not just his life but his random interests collected through small photos over decades.

Fun, but not great. Ringo makes his point about what he stands for.
