When cars made you dream
These are old cats from the fifties and late forties when American cars kindled the imagination. They where dream machines and not mere cars.They meant much more. Most of these cars naturally ended up in junk yards but some survived and their owners take great care of them and drive them to the ever popular car shows.

Cat on a hot thin roof
That would make for a great movie tittle. Just joking. It was a great period piece This Kodachrome scan dates from the early seventies and was shot in the area that became the South Street Seaport. Then it was a very redolent fish market area. This poor cat better stay on that roof because I actually saw rats that where bigger than her. I am assuming it was a she.

Block party
In Italy eventually it all leads to food and eating. This is a small party we did on my block in Via Toti in Castellammare del Golfo, Sicily. The theme was to eat pani cunsatu that is Sicilian for dressed up bread. Basically you take freshly baked and sy\till hot home made bread and you add olive oil, cheese. tomatoes, anchovies and a dash of oregano. Incredibly good. A real feast tor the palate.

Celebrate Columbus Day / Mangiate pasta
Eat your hearts out you self called native Americans or indigenous people. When you open indigenous cuisine restaurants all over the world we can change the name of Columbus day. Give it a rest. I will only post pasta dishes. But there's also pizza, ravioli, lasagne, tortellini, triangoli, strozzapreti, risotti et. al. Naturally, espressi and cappuccini, macchiati and caffe' latte. Cannoli, cassate, tirami su and sfogliatelle also come to mind.Did I mention gelati? Let's not forget the splendid regional dishes that are all varied, delicious and healthful. Just for it's immense culinary contribution a national holiday or a world holiday should be proclaimed. BTW the name America is Italian and forks and spoons also came from Italy. I could go on and on. So relax and enjoy the pasta. I usually stay away from controversy but this is really silly. Buon appetito; life is too short to eat and drink badly.

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.
