As I have stated on a prior post, I cannot believe how superb GAF film was. Always ready to buck the trend I would always carry some GAF film, formerly ANSCO, in my bag. Many tears later, the colors are still very vivid but of a slightly different hue that the super popular Kodachrome. In those days different effects were gotten either via filters of films. I was loath to use anything in front of my lenses lest a masterpiece of a lens would be compromised by a filter. Well I am glad that I did shoot this memorable film. These shots date from 1973 and were originally shot at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.
Greetings, this blog is dedicated to my life in photography. I want to make this a place to stop and relax. In the hope that this will help in these trying times

Alittle over the top?
Perhaps, but they do make for great places to visit during the Christmas season; not to mention great photo ops. My talented wife Marcy took her new Canon G-16 for a spin and came back with these great images. These are among the more tasteful stops. There are many others that are really over the top.

More of that magical Roman light
Here are a few more shots of that magical Roman light that always fascinates. These two images were shot at the EUR a fascinating architectural tour de force that was to have been an exhibition in 1942. The was saw that this never occurred. I will post images of the buildings at a later time. They are of a timeless beauty that speak volumes of Italians' gift for architecture. Here we see how late crepuscular light puts the day to rest thus giving way to the many possibilities of the Roman night.

Pisa, the leaning tower
Yes indeed the tower leans. I was one of the last visitors who was still allowed to climb to the top. Of course that was back in 1969; it was closed to tourists soon after. As it can be seen, there are no balustrades or other ways for one to hold on. It was a very scary photo session. Today, the tower is deem
ed to dangerous for tourists to climb. But it still leans.

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.
