A rare photo auction isn’t just a sale
It’s the unveiling of moments history almost forgot,
now bidding for a second glance.
I was lucky enough to be at the Beatles concert with my wife in Melbourne on June 15, 1964. Before the show started, my wife and I turned to the ladies behind us and asked, “Will you scream when they come out?” They smiled and said, “We don’t know yet.” Well, they screamed—and so did everyone else!
We couldn’t hear a single note over the roar of the crowd. Our ears rang for three days. I had my trusty Leica 111F and Hector telephoto lens that I received for my 21st birthday with me and managed to snap 14 shots in the chaos. Still one of the loudest, wildest, and most unforgettable nights of our lifes.

An auction is a method of buying and selling goods or services by offering them up for bid, taking bids, and selling to the highest bidder. It is commonly used for selling items like art, antiques, property, and even online goods.
There are several types of auctions, each with its own rules and format. The most common is the English auction, where bidding starts low and increases as participants openly place higher bids. The highest bidder wins the item. In contrast, a Dutch auction begins with a high price that gradually decreases until someone accepts the current price.
Another type is the sealed-bid auction, where all bidders submit their offers secretly, and the highest bidder wins. A special form of this is the Vickrey auction, where the highest bidder still wins but pays the second-highest bid amount. Each type of auction is suited to different situations and goals.
If you win an auction, you are legally required to buy the item at your winning bid price. You must pay within the time set by the auction rules.
After payment, you receive the item or ownership rights. In some cases, extra fees like taxes or shipping may also apply.
