Over the years I have had the pleasure of experiencing some close (and not as close) encounters with well-known persons, sometimes from across a room or field or theater, and sometimes enjoying a much more personal moment of exchanging a few words and a handshake.

These folk include individuals such as movie or television performers, musicians, Broadway and other stage performers, politicians and state and world leaders, and important religious figures.

In these galleries you will find either photos that I have taken of many of these recognizables, or photos of myself posing with the subject.
