A truly wonderful man Nikon F

One of the greatest side to my business is meeting interesting and famous people. It's the spring of 1976 and I'm covering an event at the Plaza Hotel. In the VIP cocktail reception stood Luciano Pavarotti. As I was waiting for the people to move to the ball room, I struck a conversation with Luciano about Italian politics. He was one of the most pleasant person I have ever met and photographed. He was a darn great singer also. That Cavoradossi ot that Alfredo and who can top his "Nessun Dorma" from Turandot? He is missed and will always be missed.
For those who care about this data. The lens was the 50mm F1.4 Nikkor and the film was as usual, Tri-X developed in G 76 full strength.

These photos were sent to me by my wife Marcy who captured them with the G-9 Not too shabby. Actually they are great. This large bird seems to appear in our neighborhood in Queens at this time every year. It's actually somewhat scary and a danger to small animals. The photo with the squirrel is very telling. Nice job, Marcy.
