Photographing Willie Mays!
Sunday, January 30, 2011 at 8:32PM
On December 12, 2010, I had the great honor of photographing my biggest childhood sports hero, Willie Mays.
My friend, Patty, works at Copperfield's Books in Petaluma, CA. They were having Mr. Mays for a rare book signing session. Mr. Mays' would be autographing copies his recently published and only authorized biography, Willie Mays: The Life, The Legend. In addition, he would be posing for photographs with kids 12 & under. I was thrilled when Patty asked me if I could do the shoot!
Well over a hundred people lined up around the block for his autograph. Mr. Mays was very gracious to everyone. He was especially good with the kids. Even with some infants and toddlers who were not in a cooperating mood, he had a big smile on his face. He really enjoyed being with the youngsters. Pretty good for a man who's nearly 80. By the way, I shook his had and he is still very strong! All proceeds from the event went to benefit his The Say Hey Foundation.
All in all, a fun time was had by all - especially me!
Willie & Patty
