It was wonderful to go to Central Park on weekends when people interacted with one another. No smart phones, no social media or even cell phones. People participated and talked to one another. Today, everyone is either messaging someone far away or
taking smart phone photos of every inane thing or event. Progress? Give
me a break.
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

It's about the food
The Italian American neighborhood feasts feature lots of food. Sausage and peppers, classic Italian American food is probably the most common feature followed by zeppole. You would think that these are the only foods of Italian cuisine. They are actually a far cry from what is eaten in Italy these days. As photo ops, the food stands are unbeatable.

Happy anniversary
If I may, I want to be very personal in this post. It's our wedding anniversary and I want to celebrate it by celebrating the great city of Paris. A place that we love and holds special memories. After all it's the place we truly fell in love. Merci Paris. We shall return as often as we ca. But I also want to extend thank yous to my lovely wife, Marcy, for putting up with me for all these years. Unending love, Rocco.
love, Rocco.
love, Rocco.

Archival shots
The Bully Hill winery was started by an heir to the Taylor wine family which after selling the business no one could use the name. The Bully Hill winery was an attempt at creating better tasting wines imitating the vinifera grape wines but using hybrid grapes able to withstand the harsh climates of the inger Lakes regioof New York state. This preceded the Long Island wineries boom whose wine makers were able to use vinifera types due to the unique micro climate on Long Island's forks.
These photos date from 1973 when we took a trip to this interesting region.
