Yes indeed but eat well. Food is after all the most wonderful thing in life. Be Italian in the sense that you must live to eat not eat to live. Eating well is after all the best revenge. I hope your brunch is healthfully delicious.
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

Why I go or one of the main reasons
For that last 5 years or so we have made our annual trip to Paris and there I make my pilgrimage at the Musèe D'Orsay. This was a railroad station that a famous Italian architect transformed into a spectacular exibition space. But the real reason I visit is to see this amazing Monet. I adore this painting so I
quietly watch and take in it's beauty and power. Afterwards I leave
totally satisfied. My wife took this image and she captured serious
contentment. The feeling is ineffable.
BTW, this image can be found as wallpaper on Macs. Once you see the original using it as wallpaper is a sacrilege. I just love Paris....what can I say.

Paris, a love affair
In the so called summer of love, I met the woman of my dreams with whom I'm still madly in love. Unfortunately she had a ticket to fly. After she departed on Icelandic Airlines, I felt my world going to pieces. I got a passport on the same day at Rockefeller Center. got a ticket also on Ielandic to Luxenbourg and went after her. This is before any of the modern communication devices, smartphones or any sort of instant messaging and it was when there still existed so called overseas operators to place calls to Europe etc. I sent a telegram to the American Express office in London because I knew she would be there and hoped for the best. Well because of synchronicity she got the message and met my plane at Luxembourg. We went to Paris the next day after changing at Metz and arrived at the Gare de L'est. At this point my love affair with this sublime city began. Wel we have been back many times. The first photo may be from 1969 while the other is from April of this year. I can only say that it was much quieter then. But I must say Parigi ti amo, I love you.
This year marked the 50th anniversaryb of that glorious event so we booked on Iceland Air and we went in April so we would see the famous chestnuts in blossom, as the song goes.

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.
