Springtime in Sicily
These images were shot near Scopello in Sicily. I used a soft focus filter to enhance the feeling of total beauty and peace that only springtime can elicit.

Le Petit Palais
The Petit Palais is one of the nicest museums in Paris. Besides it collections, the place itself is wonderful. It should not be missed,
Archival shots. Arthur Avenue area of The Bronx
The Arthur Avenue area is perhaps the last real little Italy in New York City. It still has a charm and a certain authenticity. These slide scans date from 1986 and are part of a project I was involved in but the area is basically still the same.
How time flies
These images are from my very first trip to Venice back in 1967. They were shot with a Kodak Retina 35mm folding camera. What is interesting is that the couple in the gondola should be hopefully celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary this year. How time flies.
Builngs awaiting reabilitation
