I spent a couple of days around Margaret Whiting when the friend of a friend brought her to Albuquerque for some private performances years back (mid 1990's). She very kindly sang "Misty" for me after the performance as I took some shots with an Old Hasselblad loaded with HP5. This is my favorite.
For my money, she owns the vocal version of this classic, just as Benny Carter owns the instrumental rendering. (I saw and heard him in Cambridge MA doing it years ago, and thought I'd died and gone to heaven!)
I really like your portraits a LOT, Larry. I guess it's that four letter ingredient (L...) that you've mentioned in another thread and that has nothing to do with technical specs but the motivating force behind it all - it just shines through.

One more, this one taken almost 25 years ago with a Hasselblad 1000F, my very first Hasselblad. There was something about the Zeiss glass from the early fifties that I really loved. Its native contrast was just about perfect for my taste.
