Rocco Galatioto, nice photos and good food

Her  name was Grace; she was my father in law's cousin  and lived in Washington DC that she simply called the District. An amazing lady that represented another age. These candid images were shot on Tri-X with a Leica M-4 and a 35mm Summicron F2 lens. It was back in 1970 and to me it feels as if it were yesterday.

These late day shots of two side streets in Castellammare del Golfo prove the point that even a prosaic shot can be made interesting.

In the seventies, I had a studio at the Corner of 26th Street and Lexington Avenue in Manhattan. When I had nothing to do I enjoyed looking out of my window that did have a northern exposure. These images are of the north side of 26th Street. Today the area is totally gentrified.

A wonderful Greek temple in the doric style that is noteworthy for it's lack of a cella , or an internal structure that was part of all other Greek temples. The reason for this is open to much speculation. No matter, it is well preserved as all Greek temples are in Sicily and along with the amphitheater it makes for a must place to visit. It is very close to Castellammare so every time someone visit I take a trip to Segesta.

This little girl had the time of her life at the giostre or rides on the lungomare or promenade in Mazara del Vallo, Sicily.

BTW, the colors are real and unretouched
