Photo of the day: April 3, 2010 Canon FT
From a scan of a Kodachrome II slide shot in paris in July of 1972. It seems as if it were only yesterday. Tempus fugit! The lens was the superb Canon 50.. f1.4 FL.

Photo of the day April 2, 2010 Nikon D700
PHOTO OF THE DAY: 4-1-10 Canon 5D
April may be the cruelest month but the word April alone puts me in a good mood. It's really spring! This shot is from Lido D'Ostia outside Fiumicino airport in Rome. Ostia was Rome's port and is a very important archeological city. The lens was the much maligned 24-85 3.5-4.5 EF. A great travel lens no matter what the silly pixel peekers say.

Must reading article by Thom Hogan
Thom Hogan, a person whom I respect, posted a very interesting article on his site
http://www.bythom.com/ that for the endless time explores that can of worms about equipment making some one better. Of course equipment does not, by itself, make anyone a better photographer. Nevertheless the techies out there who buy cameras to take endless series of "test shots," are not really interested in advancing the art of photography since to them photography is not the photo but the camera. I totally agree but poor Thom is wasting his breath, I'm afraid.

Photo of the day: 3-31-10 Nikon D2X
From a stage play at an Arba Sicula event. The subject was Don Sturzo, the Sicilian priest who founded the Partito D'azione during the fascist period, was exiled to the USA and upon his return after the war he founded the Christian Democratic party that ruled Italy for over 50 years after WW II. The camera was the Nikon D2X with the 80-300 F3.5-5.6 VR Nikkor.

Photo of the day: 3-28-10 Canon G9
If you are ever in Rapallo in Liguria Italy of course, you must stop at the NOSTROMO where it's always all you can eat at a fixed price. This is the tomato and onions salad with olives that accompanies the meal. A place near to my heart. I should be eating there soon. Cannot wait. Here I used the G9 and it's built in flash. Buon appetito!

There was something right about the skin tones of the D 1-X. Only the Fuji S2-Pro did better. The Nikkor 35-135 F 3.5-4.5 was used.
