My favourite portrait of George, I think
George Harrison by Terry O'Neill, 1990
"I don't want to be in the business full-time, because I'm a gardener. I plant flowers and watch them grow. I don't want to go out to clubs and partying. I stay at home and watch the river flow."
Barry Feinstein's famous cover shot for George Harrison's 1970 album All Things Must Pass.
Here's another shot of George Harrison by Barry Feinstein. I've seen two dates for this: 1970 (during the All Things Must Pass shoot at Friar Park), and 1975 in Los Angeles. Either way, Feinstein captures something very personal about Harrison in spite of the formal pose.
