Remenbering the great one

One of the great pleasures of this type of work is that it allows one to meet interesting people. Today these people are called celebrities but it's a term used loosely and has lost it's meaning just as the word hero has. To me Pavarotti was above a celebrity; he was the great one. While photographing him at an event at the Plaza, I found him very personable, engaging and modest. All qualities of a great person.
If you must know, the camera was the Nikon F with the Nikkor 105 F2.5 and the film was my trusted Tri-X Pan.
