Astrid Kirchherr Quotes
I'm not a businesswoman, I'm not organized. I've never been commercial. I never looked after my negatives, and you need that to prove you took the photos. There have been 200 books on the Beatles...and almost all have used my photographs. It wasn't just with the Beatles. If other friends wanted, say a passport photo, I'd shoot one off and give it to them, often with the negative.
