Have a great summer / Abbiate una grande estate

There's no image that signifies summer has the parachute in Coney Island.  This was actually shot in early spring but it will do.


 The long days are also what I love about summer. I'm a sun person after all. This shot is from Manhattan's Little Italy on a summer evening.

Naturally we must have flowers to highlight summer's beauty.
And there's always the who'e fun of it. This shot was taken at Baltimore Harbor.

Have a nice summer and thanks for visiting.

Have a brilliant new week / Vi auguriamo una settimana brillante

The advantages of digital


I'm not necessarily anti film, I worked with it for over 30 years so I have my unique appreciation of that medium. Nevertheless, there are things that a digital camera can do easily  that with film it took two different rolls or use of filters. With digital it takes a mere change in the light balance, These two photos are shot at the same time of day at the same location using two different white balance settings. Interesting.

Have a bright Sunday / Vi auguriamo una domenica brillante



An afternoon in Breezy Point / Canon G-9


The G-0 is a great camera and within it's limitations it can be very useful. Here the late afternoon light makes the picture.
Breezy Point is a very unusual beach community that although part of New York City, it appears to be a totally different world.
