One of mt very first "serious" shot.
When one just starts in this field it is inevitable for one to take himself so seriously; every image is a "photograph;" every image is so important. For me this initial state didn't last too long as I have never taken myself and most other things very seriously. As a total cynic and acerbic social critic, I see this BS in people and try no to succomb to it myself. Especially myself. But my vanity does get in the way at times
When I call this an early "serious photo," the quotation marks indicate this sarcasm that is reflexive upon myself. But, I must confess, vanity aside, that this is a rather charming early photo which I like very much.
It dates back from September of 1967 and this was the view from our pensione in Venice. The camera was a Kodak Retina, a German made folding camera with a very nice Schneider lens. I hope you like it..

Hell Gate Bridge, New York
New York, has many famous bridges, alas there are really not enough bridges in this city, but some less known ones, can make nice images.This is the Hell Gate Bridge and was shot on a late summer night in 2005 while on a photo trek with my daughter, Jennifer Galatioto, a most competent professional photographer. It was shot from Astoria Park in Queens. This is a rail road bridge that spans the Bronx with Queens. The Triboro Bridge's span to Manhattan can be seen in the background. The camera was the Nikon 1 D-X.

There was something right about the skin tones of the D 1-X. Only the Fuji S2-Pro did better. The Nikkor 35-135 F 3.5-4.5 was used.
