Rocco Galatioto, nice photos and good food

Yes indeed, an early photo of the future superb and competent not to mention creative photographer. If I am a little prejudiced it's because she is my dear daughter Jennifer who has blossomed into a superb person and a great photographer. She always liked to come into the dark room and observe me work under the safe light. She always liked to carry a camera. This shot was made on Kodachrome 25. The lens was the 50mm Summicron F 2. She is carrying a Nikon Ftn with a Nikkor 50 mm F 1.4 lens.

A few more from the Futures in Education event. These were shot with the Canon 70-200 F 4 L.

Yes indeed, Ortygia, the original part of Siracusa where Archimedes used to play; perhaps under this same arch. One of the most wonderful cities in Sicily and all of Italy. A true gem.

Some of the children I shot tonight at a fund raising event for the Futures in Education Foundation. This organization provides needy children with scholarships so that they may attend Catholic Schools. The place was the Waldorf Astoria. The lens was the 24-105 F 4 Canon L.

It is always fun to watch tourists and pigeons in Piazza San Marco in Venice. One euro will buy you a small package of seeds to feed the pigeons and they approach you from all sides. It is a strange tradition but it's part of the Venetian experience.

These summer cauliflowers were at the farmer's market in Castellammare. I made an excellent pasta with them.

No comment is needed. I just love this place.
