Rocco Galatioto, nice photos and good food

 

  Fall is here but it doesn't hang around for long. Go out and take some glorious pictures this Saturday.

 

  Naturally a panorama shot under the proper or dramatic light an make the prosaic into an interesting image. Of course there's nothing prosaic about Manhattan.

 I was very lucky to work with several clients who were social service agencies and had many programs for children. This was my favorite type of assignment.

 I love photography but as you know I love to cook and eat. When I combine the food with the photos it's almost heaven. Naturally heaven is the eating part. Top, penne rigate with pancetta Center, couscous with sautéed shrimps. Bottom, Stewed calamari    

I usually do not take cameras when I travel. To intruding and a little show offish. A good smart phone does miracles if one understands their limitations. This man was looking at his smart phone while his dog looked out the window. Silly really but I like it. When you think about it most photos are meaningless.

  I realize that for some this is offensive but I don't care for political correctness and for those who expound it. They really are pathetic. This was the Columbus Day parade on Fifth Avenue in NYC when President Carter marched and Luciano Pavarotti was the Grand Marshall. A truly wonderful event. Enjoy the holiday .
