Archival shot / Nikon Ftn

The top one was shot from the press truck in front of the marchers on 5th Ave. during the Columbus day parade of 1978 next to president Carter.   The bottom head shot was shot at the old Plaza hotel. Where did the time go. The lens was the Nikkor 105 F 2.5. I still have this great lens and it still puts out on my digital  Nikons, Pavarotti was young then and so was I. Contrary to what I have recently read, I found him to be a very warm person with whom I conversed easily. Of course, he had not yet reached the pinnacle of fame then.
