Curious, are you talking a more or less 1-1 shoot ... (show quote)
Yes, thaz a verrrry major distinction. When I replied I listed only the up close stuff. Even if it was fairly quick and wordless, there hadda be a situation where the subject knows it’s my job to document the visit, presentation or whatever. Tom Brady on the field or the Pope on his balcony, through a 500mm, doesn’t qualify in my book.

Linda Vaughn (Miss Hurst), back in the 70s I went to an Indycar race at the Ontario Motor Speedway (California), I was there for the racing, not the celebrities, but when I saw Linda's headlights heading towards me, I couldn't help myself, snap, snap, snap. That is the only
celebrity I ever got on film purposely.

Red Skelton, at the Fox Theater in Atlanta, GA , February 1979. I attended his live show there and used a Petri FT SLR loaded with KodaColor 400 ASA (ISO) film and had it pushed to 800 for the prints. The results were quite good.
