Rocco Galatioto, nice photos and good food

  Fooling around with a soft focus filter is very easy using a digicam,

 Relaxing at a Parisian cafe

As the sun sets the light becomes very special. It can turn a prosaic image into a memorable one. 

Pasta with fresh artichokes a wonderful and delicious lunch dish

  Penne rigate ai quattro formaggi con zucchine. Penne with four cheeses sauces and zucchine. A variation on the standard dish.

  There were carriages in Manhattan until recently and this photo was shot at Central Park South in front of the old Plaza Hotel. The expression on the man is priceless. 

  A view of a main street Assisi, Umbria, Italy. A rather spiritual but very touristy destination.

  Eating in Sicily. Simplicity in itself. Pasta with super fresh zucchine fried in EVO and a few cloves of garlic and shaved pecorino and fresh basil complete this dish. Delicious 

  Skaters in Central Park on a Sunday afternoon in December of 1970. Tempus fugit,

  Thai food is not my area of expertise so when I crave it, I simply go to Trader Joe and get Goyozos along with bird nests and voila I have a quick and delicious meal. I know it's cheating but who cares.  

 It's beginning to look like winter in these parts. Coraggio, it will soon be spring .

  Orecchiette pasta with broccoletti and sausage, just delicious.

  Stonington Connecticut in late afternoon when the light is magical.

  Stir fried strip steak with sauteed broccoli and homemade mashed potatoes.

  There's nothing like a good minestrone to hit the spot on a cold evening.

  The gardens of Versailles at the outskirts of Paris; simply amazing.

  Spaghetti with canned tuna, great olive oil, some lemon rinds and a little lemon juice. Simplicity to the max. Delizioso
