Rocco Galatioto, nice photos and good food

Shot in the main green house of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden with the Micro Nikkor 60mm F2.8. A nice change and a touch of color to interject among all the B&W scans that I have posted recently.

Shot in Grand Gorge, NY. this photo is one of my earliest attempt at taking a "photograph." The Yashicamat, had opened my eyes to the 120 format that I absolutely loved. The film was ANSCO 500 developed in ANSCO Hyfonol. That is really old stuff.

Once again the M-4 with the 35mm F2 Summicron. Panatomic-X developed in Agfa Rodinal 1:75 dilution.

Shot with the original Yashicamat 124, the camera that opened my eyes to the wonderfuk qualities to the 6X6 [120] format. The film was Tri-X Professional developed with D76 diluted 1:1.

Thinking of that late summer afternoon. Shot with the Canon 16-35 F2.8 L.

What do you do during snowy wintry days, you scan old photos. This shot of the Hotel Elton a block away from my Studio in the East side of Manhattan was shot on one of those June evenings when the sun hangs around. I just love the long days. The late night is coming from the west side and is illuminating the walls and fire escapes. The lens as the fantastic Canon 50 mm F 1.4 FL. Tri-x developed in D-76 1:1. I just love that lazy summer feeling that this photo captures.

What a gret camera. The Nikon SP rangefinder was a real gem. I shot this outdoor shoemaker in Chinatown in Manhattan with the SP and the 35mm Nikkor F 3.5. The film was Tri-X developed in D-76 full strength.

Anotehr Panatomic X photo with the M-4 and the Summicron 35mm F 2. It was developed in Rodinal 1:75.

Two more archival shots from a trip to Quebec. The lens was the phenomenal Summicron F2 35mm. Tri-X was developed in D:76 diluted 1:1. Printed on Kodabromide F surface.

Finding some color in the woods at this time is hard. I did my best while walkinh Charlie. The lens was the inexpensive Canon EF 28mm F 2.8.

My M4 was and still is the greatest street camera ever made. These shots of Tangiers were all with the Leica M-4 with the Summicron 35mm F2. Shot on Panatomic X that I developed with Agfa Rodinal 1:75 dilution. The prints were made on Kodabromide F.

Another studio shot using one umbrella and a white reflector. The lens was the Nikkor 105 F2.5. The film was Plus-X developed in D-76 1:1 dilution and the print was made on Ilford Multigrade, F surface. a paper that eventually became my favorite. However the surface that I absolutely adored was the Pearl.

Shot in the Studio I had on East 26 St, off Lexington Avenue in Manhattan. Simple lighting consisting of one umbrella and a reflector. Shot on T-Max 100 with T-Max developer full strength. The lens was the Nikkor 50mm F1.4.

A Sunday afternoon in October. The lens was the Nikkor 105 F2.5 [I still have it]. The film was Tri-X developed in D-76 1:1: dilution. The print was made on Kodak Kodabromide F grade 2.

A sunday afternoon in the summer of 1969 in Washington Square Park in Manhattan. The lens was the Canon 50mm F1.4 FL. As usual, the film was Tri-X developed in D-71 1:1 dilution. The print was made on Kodak Polycontrast F.
