Photo of the day, April 22, 2010 Canon 5D


A photo of a dear friend in Genoa who personifies those qualities that make Italians such amazing people. His love of life, good food, sports, literature, and all around good living with superb taste in clothes and all accessories make one wonder why the rest of the world is not of the same persuasion. In Italy, for example, eating is a serious art. We had a meal that featured baby lamb. One would think that this were a simple matter. Not really. Getting the lamb became a serious business as only the lamb from Sardinia was deemed acceptable and many butcher shops had to be queried until the right one was found. I will not elaborate on the wine selection as it would take too much time.
The amazing thing is that the people with whom I shared this wonderful meal were not rich; they were all middle class persons. Needless to say I cannot wait to return in July. This time I will first go to Campania for that great Neapolitan cuisine and where I will eat those sublime mozzarelle di bufala and then I will return to Sicily where the cuisine is absolutely phenomenal as it includes gastronomic hints of many cultures.
The photo of my friend "Il Conte" was taken with the 24-104 F4 L lens. No flash was used.
