Rocco Galatioto, nice photos and good food

It's without a doubt that Kodachrome II was the finest color film ever made. A testament to American ingenuity. Kodak was symbolic of American industrial genius. Once it simply made the best products. The ironic fact is that Bayer who invented the digital sensor for imaging was working for Kodak. They invented themselves out of existence. Unlike Fuji who was relentless in innovation, Kodak, alas, became run by the so called CEO class who listened to lawyers rather than chemists and engineers.

It's architecture spans the centuries as it has stone and meta working together harmoniously. I love it and love to photograph it. These images dating from 1986 were made on Kodachrome and scanned.

Although I'm opposed to the idea of zoos as in keeping animals in cages, the Paris Zoo, like the New York zoo are places where  animals have space to roam but up to a point, of course. These images shot on Kodachrome II back in 1972.
