Rocco Galatioto, nice photos and good food

I love Venice. I also do not have many images where I am at the present, in the computer I'm using so please be understanding.

Well you know the rest of the sentence. This gorgeous rose was photographed in that wonderful urban park in Westerly Rhode Island.

Shot after my arrival in Venice this spring. The lens was the 9-18 F 4-5.6 Zuiko. There's hardly any distortion. Very nice setup.

This recent shot taken with the 9-18mm F 4-5.6 Zuico lens, shows the amazing architectural contrasts and vitality of this are.

This B&W conversion of a Kodachrome that uncharacteristically turned magenta, is og Place Marie in Montreal. The lens was the Nikkor 35mm F 2.8.

This chair was on a loading dock on west 13th Street in lower Manhattan. This is the meat packing district that has become real interesting now. The lens was the Digital Zuiko 9-18 F 4-5.6.

I had just gotten my 5D, my first FF DSLR so I was eager to use it. I only took a 24mm EF F2.8 lens and these are some results.

I was amazed at the fact that this photo, basically half a frame was shot at ISO 1600. There is no grain. This sort of performance was impossible with film.

This photo of my paternal aunt Terina was shot in her home in Sicily. She died less than a year later. Shw was a great k=lady, full of life and love. I miss her.

Home from a rip to the country, I placed the produce on a table and used only window light with a white reflector. The lens was the Nikkor 59mm F 1.4 and the film was high speed Ektachrome.

Another Agfachrome shot that has some color fading issues. I did my best in PS. The lens was a Soligor 135 F 2.8. No zooms were available yet for general usage.
