Photographer Sonia Katchian has great skill - and astounding luck. Among other memorable images, on this day in 1972 she was the only professional photographer to capture the assassination attempt on then-Presidential candidate George Wallace.
Sonia's professional luck continued: a chance meeting with Muhammad Ali landed her ringside at two famed boxing matches - "The Rumble in the Jungle" and "The Thrilla in Manila."
