Rocco Galatioto, nice photos and good food

  Of course spaghetti with a pesto of zucchine and shrimps is a classic Italian dish, I wanted to add a few more ingredients for a somewhat different taste. So I added black beans and pistachios and the result was yummy.

  Here's looking at you. Little frog on lotus leaves,

  Orecchiette means little ears in Italian and this delightful pasta shape is famous for staying al dente longer that other cuts or shapes. Here I prepared them with sausage and broccoli. Fantastic,

 Central Park, NYC, back in February 1974. Shot with a Leica M2R and the glorious 50mm F2 Summicron lens. The film was Ektachrome that I developed using Unicolor chemicals. These boats were on the shore of the park's main lake.

  Back to hearty food. A soup of cauliflower and black beans, perfect for a wintry meal.

  A view of the Chianti region in Tuscany, Italy. Just lovely.
