Tuna steak / E PL-2
Let's get the photographic data out of the way. I used the Nikkor 60mm F2.8 micro with an adapter on the Olympus E PL-2. This is a very versatile camera to say the least.
Now for the tasty part. This is a Sicilian tuna dish. It has red onions, pignoli and raisins. All is put on a skillet with olive oil and then some white wine and red wine vinegar is added along with a dash of salt and a pinch of black pepper. The result is a delicious and ultra fast and easy dish.
PS I am in no way competing with Morta di Fame. Just trying to fill the void that has been left as a result of the latter's lack of posts. I hope that the blog will resume soon. I could never compete with Jen in matters photographic or gastronomical.

Old Sicilian gentleman / Canon G-9
We met this great gentleman in the town park. My wife asked him if she could photograph him and he agreed. Afterwards, he stated that that was not really the picture that he wanted. Instead, he wanted to have photographs of his old "trappitu", the place where olives are crushed and pressed to make oil. We drove to those large building that was to be shortly torn down and it's contents junked so he wanted photos. Inside. along the presses and crushers there were an assortment of old farm machinery that no longer worked. I shot these with my wife's G-9 as I had not read the instructions on my E PL-2 and could not get the flash to work. This man, in his late eighties climbed up and down without our help that was extended but politely refused.

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.
