Archival Ektachrome
This photo was shot on Ektachrome 100 that I used to buy at Spiratone in 30 meters rolls.ls at Spiratone. This was during a period when I shot much film so bulk film saved money. To further save, I would develop it in Unicolor chemistry and mounted them myself. Today there is no cost of film so young shooters have no conception of this. In those days one had to be very careful when taking pictures. At any rate, I loved to go down to the then nascent South Street Seaport and take photos. This was before the area became successful, trendy and very crowded. It's still a nice place to take photos.

Passing
I want to share the sad news of the passing of my mother, Giovanna Galatioto, early yesterday morning. At the end she did suffer but was cared for with great love by the family. My son Michael and his wife Jufy were indefatigable as well as my wife Marcy who treated my mother as if she were her own. My bson Josef and his wife Francesca were always standing by to assist. Although this final event was not unexpected, when it arrived it hit us as a ton of bricks. At least she is not suffering any more. This turmoil explains my tardiness of my posts. I hope to do better in the near future. Special thanks go to Michela Pace whose knowledge and labor was super helpful..
This image is from three years ago when my mother was still able to enjoy her life.
