Rocco Galatioto, nice photos and good food

     A stew made with calamari, potatoes in a light tomato sauce. Delightful.

    Florence, Tuscany. The Arno River at dusk

     My version of fusion. Pot roast with homemade mash potatoes and sauteed string beans in a garlic and tomato sauce like it's done in Puglia, Italy. A filling and delicious meal.

     Remember when it was so cool to smoke? This street photography image was made with a Nikon FTn and a 35mm F 2.8 Nikkor lens. The location is Bed Stuy Brooklyn in the late seventies. This area has been since gentrified for the benefits of the so-called hipsters.

Classic boscaiola or pasta from the woods or forest. It's a pasta in a sauce of mushrooms, sausage and peas. It's a delicious and filling luncheon choice.       

     I consider this my best fall foliage shot. It was made on a Fuji DSLR that used a cheap Nikon SLR body, but I could use all my Nikkor lenses. The sensor had a multiplication factor of 1.5 and the resolution was 3.4 megabytes. Yet the output was phenomenal with colors reminiscent of the old Kodachrome II. It was my first DSLR.
