Same Camera Different Eye:  Shannon McCollum Certifies  John Legend’s Cool

Working w/John Legend for the last 5 yrs has been an honor. John *overstands* the importance of documenting his career. He’s allowed me to tour the world w/him.  My most memorable moment w/John was backstage in Paris,France w/Kayne West coming off an awesome show.  The two superstars were excited and showed brotherly love. Another awesome moment was capturing Muhammad Ali coming over to embrace John at the All Star game in Phoenix.  It was like slow motion.  I took about 10 frames til Ali gave John a warm, soft loving hug.–Shannon McCollum
