Rocco Galatioto, nice photos and good food

Yes indeed the lovely Noank in Connecticut next to Mystic. i was taken by this mansion with its affluence of lovely roses that appeared to be at their peak in the area.

Shot today at a Catholic Charities picnic. The lens was the 24-104 F4 L Canon.

These were shot in New London Conn. in the Italian gardens of the Mansion once owned by Eugene O'Neil.

One of the most enchanting New England town. It's absolutely lovely and shot at the right time of day, it's almost magical. It has lost a lot of it's old sea town authenticity due to yuppification and development but there are a lot of beautiful old buildings. Alas all the old Portuguese luncheonettes are gone giving way to expensive and pretentious eateries. Too bad. The place is still lovely.

This is the Heritage Museum at Northampton, Mass. A lovely town with a truly historic past. That fence with the roses absolutely floored me.

My daughter Jennifer, a working professional photographer, shot this image of the feast of Castellammare del Golfo, my hometown, last year. It captures the flavor of the procession that takes place at night. I just love the statue and street lighting arrangement. Very nice Jen. She used either the Panasonic LX-3 0r the Canon 5D II with the canon 50mm F1.4 lens. When I see her work, I understand how Leopold Mozart must have felt. I just love her work.

Some shots of Mystic Connecticut on a cold June night.

The colors in Sicily are truly unbelievable. These were shot by Marcy, my wife and are JPEGS out of the camera. Only re sized for the internet. She always does a great job and she also took that nice shot of me that modesty aside, I had to share.

A quiet and unusually cloudy afternoon at the marina of Cstellammare del Golfo. The lens was the 10-35 F2,8 Canon L.

Again in Florence now it's back in 1969. Shot with the 28mm f3.5 Canon FL lens. All originally shot as slides but desaturated.
