In the early seventies, before my parental duties made me realize that I had to make a living out of photography, I shot much street photography. Coney Island off season was a great place to go with my Leicas, one loaded with Tri-X and another with slide film. Those were the carefree days. Gone but not forgotten.

 A very healthful lunch. Black beans with Swiss chard and potato. carrots, celery and onions. Very nice and flavorful.

 May late and very much missed father playing solitaire after a long day's work and awaiting the wonderful meals my mother created. A man of incredible intelligence, widsnom and civility.  

 Garofalo linguine prepared with asparagus and mushrooms, a real treat.

 A hot Sunday afternoon near Genoa, Italy. A water polo game. Canon Ft, 59mm F 1:4 lens and Kodachrome II.

 Italian organic cavatappi pasta ( Italian for cork screw) in fava beans, split peas and Swiss chard. Just what's needed on a cold day. Simply delicious.

 Lexington Avenue near 27th Street close to my Studio. Shot in the mid seventies with a Leica M-4 and the superb 35mm Summicron lens.
