Bucolic setting / Yashicamat 124
This is one of my first medium format shots. I used Ansco HP that had an ASA [ISO] of 500 that I developed in Ansco Hyfonol. It was shot in Grand Gorge, NY. I loved this rather inexpensive camera that opened up a new world of photography to me.

Two great shots by Marcy / Canon point and shoot
My wife Marcy keeps on astonishing me with her ability to use very simple cameras and come up with great photos. These were taken a few years ago in Burano an island near Venice. I just love them.

I love this city / Olympus E-10
By now you may wonder what's my attachment to the Flatiron Building. Well I just love it, period. I hope that you do not get tired of looking at the many photos I have shot of this superb structure. This attempt was made with my first "serious" digital camera, the Olympus E-10. These shots are from the year 2001. My very first digital camera was the Nikon 990 a year earlier. Of course, I also love Madison Square Park from which I can take great shots of the Empire State Building, another one that I love.
