Rocco Galatioto, nice photos and good food

Recent photos shot at Juniper Valley Park with the Panasonic LX-7. No signs of spring yet.

Genoa is truly a wonderful city. Located on the Western side of Italy on a magnificent gulf that faces the South on the Ligurian Sea, it was one of the major maritime republics of Italy. Once it was the busiest port in Italy and on of the most important in Europe. The waterfront has been sort of gentrified and a  porto turistico has been created with all sort of public spaces. It houses one of the most important aquariums in the world. A truly superb site and a must visit. When I visited I fell in love with a wonderful huge sea turtle. These photos were all shot with the Canon G-9 as a testament to what a good point and shoot is capable of doing. These are out of the camera JPEGS. It was a lovely Saturday afternoon in May.

This has been a nasty and long winter that doesn't want to let go. These shots from the Brooklyn Botanic garden were taken about a year ago. What a difference. The camera was the Olympus E PL-2.

This is an early photo shot at the incipience of my career. Actually it was a photo that sort of encouraged me to continue shooting. This courtyard in the Fraginesi area of Castellammare was shot in August of 1969 with the Canon FT, the Canon 50 mm F 1.4 FL and Kodachrome II. I still remember vividly the time and place as if it were merely yesterday.

This child with her dog were photographed on board of a vaporetto , a water bus on the Grand Canal in Venice.

Shot with the Fuji S1-Pro a while ago

I consider this scan from a Kodachrome slide shot in 1975 with the Nikon FT n and the Nikkor 105 F 2.5, as one of my better shots. It merits to stand alone in this post.

A famous Neapolitan song about a window that shone once  when there was life inside the home but now, alas, is no longer shines. The Music is attributed to Vincenzo Bellini, the great Sicilian composer of  Norma, without a doubt the greatest Italian opera ever written. This is a window in Naples that brought to mind such a window.

Some archival shots  from way back in the spring of 2001 with the Olympus E-10.
