Rory Storm, as taken by Astrid Kirchherr, a photographer noted for her wonderful art and her affiliation with the likes of Rory, The Beatles, and others during their time in Hamburg. Rory liked this photo so much that on a separate trip to Germany, he made sure to thank her for taking it. If I remember correctly, that’s an athletics-related medal that he’s wearing on a chain. Personally one of my favorites of him. He has a certain quality of warmth, and I love the slightest hint of a smile. Photos like this, where you can just look people in the eyes even though you’ll probably never meet them in person, have such a magic touch.
