There Goes My Hero!

It's not every day you get to meet one of your heroes, but tonight I got to meet one of mine, legendary paparazzo Ron Galella!  Considered the most controversial celebrity photographer in the world, Ron is most famous for his pictures of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis (below) and the court orders imposed on him to stay away from her.  His subjects have included everyone from Sonny and Cher, Elvis and Michael Jackson to anyone who ever stepped foot in Studio 54, and he's had his jaw broken by no less than Marlon Brando.  He is an inspiration to me every time I pick up my camera, and it was an honor to meet him tonight.
