Folk dancers
What's very special about Hew York is it's myriad of ethnic groups all becoming Americanized but all retaining their cultural traditions. These photos were shot at Bishop Boardman apartments an apartment for seniors that is owned and operated by Catholic Charities. I was shooting a festival there and among the various groups were these Chinese folk dancers who despite their age danced with verve and aplomb.

Pivotal photo
This photo is one of the early ones that put the photography bug in me. Shot with a Kodak Retina folding 135 camera that we had
borrowed for a trip to Europe, this pivotal picture was a kind of life
changing experience. I have posted it before but it's worth a second
look. The film was Kodachrome II that kept it's colors well.

Sicilian winter dreams
As we get ready for another long winter I dream of Sicily. Green, full of wild flowers with temperatures that will not dare go anywhere near freezing. Bliss.
These images are from the contrada Visicari of Castellammare del Golfo. The photos were shot in January of 2013. Only the claudy sky that presaged rain reminded one that it was winter.

Start the new week by eating well
Eating well is the best revenge but eating tasty and healthy food is super sweet. This is my usual Sicilian pre-lunch snack - after my cappuccino and cornetto - in order to chase away any free radicals. You get the idea. This simple dish has all the ingredients for a happy meal: bread, tomatoes, cheese, olives, olive oil, basil and sea salt. As for the flavor..pure joy. Because of the holidays andall that they can bring in terms of hurrying, stress and the temptation
to indulge in fast foods, this post is intended to underscore the
importance of eating well. Happy shopping.

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.
