It's a wonderful feeling to be excited during a photo coverage. Happiness was Grace Bumbry on stage. Fun time. Exhilaration. It was possible to head to work inspired. Just think of that! These images are for all the friends, family, admirers, lovers of great opera.
Dear Grace, thank you with all of my heart. Big hugs from Earth. RIP
