McCartney didn't have many excursions but was constantly seen with her husband, former Beatles member, which could be interesting enough.

I personally loved how close she got to the musicians and really tried to capture their aura, especially considering she didn't get any special training. I do wish she would take more pictures of the musicians with their passion rather than them in their normal life.
