Rocco Galatioto, nice photos and good food

One more from the Halloween party with the Canon 5D and the 24-105 f4 L. Nice combo.

Shot at an Halloween party at a family this little girl was f=dressed up as a hippie! It's true, hippies were really in costumes in their day. It was all a put on as it were. The 5D with the Canon 24-105 f4 L.

Shot on 10-28-09 at the Marriott in Times Square. The Futures in Education Foundation Annual Dinner. The Canon 5D with the 24-104 f4 L. I shot the whole job, over 600 shota without havibg to change the lens.

Back to my beloved Castellammare del Golfo. The Canon G 9 in the summer of 2008.

Way back in September of 1972 with the Canon Ft and the 50mm 1.4 FL lens. The film was Kodachrome II; yes ASA or ISO 25! Those were the days when you had to have steady hands. These were Amish children in Pennsylvania. We are spoiled today with our new sensors.

May of 2008 at Greenport , NY the end of the North Fork with it's great wine country. The D300 with the variable fish eye lens by Tokina. I always dream of spring.

Steve Sasson, a Kodak employe, and the man credited with inventing the first digital camera, was awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of Rochester for his work. Sasson developed the first prototype, with a resolution of 0.01 megapixels, in 1975 while working at Kodak and received a patent for it in 1978. It's interesting to note that the diagrams included in the original patent won't look too familiar but, its description of 'a solidstate light responsive device' for image capture is instantly recognizable. Earlier this month, Sasson also received an 'Innovation Award' from The Economist magazine for the same work. It's ironic that the company that practically developed modern film photography was the one who invented it's successor and killer of sorts. From .01 megapixels to the present mameras. Wow hoe fast progress has run it's course with the so called mega pixel race always heating up with no end in sight.

Another from the end of the foliage. Again the Canon 5D and the 24-105 F4 L.

Too bad but the foliage is all but gone. All that remains are some stubborn yellow leaves and some pale green ones. Just shot in NE Pennsylvania with the Canon 5D and the 24-105 f4 L lens after a rainstorm.
