 Spaghetti with fresh salmon garnished with pistachios,simply sublime

Shooting the breeze on a summer afternoon next to Madison Square Park looking at the most beautiful structure in New York, the so called Flat Iron Building.

 

 Another quintessential summer dish. Organic Italian spaghetti with fried zucchine and a naturally sweet pomodorini sauce. A culinary menage a trois.

 This image cries out SUMMER. A vintage Kodachrome shot with a Nikon F and the sublime 55 mm F 3.5 Micro Nikkor lens.

 Another example of complex simplicity. Spaghetti with crisp broccoli and pomodorini. To pull this off there must be attention to detail. The very fresh broccoli must not get overcooked, the pasta must be al dente, the oil of great quality and just a hint of garlic in the mix. Then you reach nirvana. 

 The Saint Anthony's feast held yearly in June on Sullivan Street, Manhattan. An interesting combination of old timers and near by Greenwich Village hipsters. Of Course there the ineluctable procession with the Statue accompanied by a band and the money collected and pinned on the Saint's scarfs. Very colorful This is a vintage shot made with my Leica M-4 and good old Kodak Tri-X a superb combination that allowed m.e to get close and personal with my subjects.
