Arnold's number one photographer Art Zeller passed away. Zeller took many of the
best-known photos of bodybuilding's icons during what has become known as bodybuilding's
"golden age," a time when the sport's top athletes trained together.
Arnold and Artie in early October 1998
"He felt very strongly about the fact that you have to capture the athletes while
they are actually exercising, with all the poundage, and with the facial expressions, in
whatever sportswear they are wearing," Arnold told Muscle & Fitness
magazine shortly after Zeller died. Arnold also said in tribute: "I would describe
him as a visionary, as a talented photographer, as a great mensch, as a great human being.
He always thought more about giving than taking."
