A tribute band dressed as members of the Beatles walk across the famous pedestrian crossing on Abbey Road on Saturday in London, in a re-creation of the Beatles’ Abbey Road album cover. Hundreds of people gathered to mark the 40th anniversary of the album. It remains one of music’s best-known album covers, endlessly imitated and parodied. Although the shoot itself only took a few minutes, so carefully studied was the cover for signs and symbolism that some die-hard fans came to the conclusion that Paul McCartney — who appears barefoot and out of step with the rest — had secretly died.
Bidders swarm around a late 1990s model BMW 528 that is up for auction at the Texas Can Academy Cars For Kids on Saturday in Arlington, Texas. The car sold for $2,800, but there are no warranties and buyers do not get to drive the car before bidding.

After over an hour of feature photo hunting, I found myself in a situation that led to this sequence of images. The four frames occurred within 30 seconds. In frame No. 3, bottom left, all the elements fell in place to make an interesting photograph. A fraction of a second later, frame No. 4, the boy’s eye closes, and the moment was gone.
