 Florence shot from Piazzale Michelangelo way back in August, 1969 with a Canon FT, a 28mm F 3.5 Canon FL lens all on Kodak Tri-X, naturally.


 Classic dish consisting of organic Italian spaghetti prepared with asparagus, peas and pancetta creating a normal creamy sauce from the starch in the pasta and the olive oil. In Italian it's called cremina. No matter how it's called the result was spectacular. Buon appetito.

 Internal courtyard in Trapani Sicily. A very old city with a long history located at the northwest corner of the Island.


 I found a beautiful local farm fresh cauliflower so I made some in a risotto with a light tomato sauce and stewed the rest. I served the risotto with a floret on top. What a nice fall meal. What comfort. What delight.

AUTUMN IN NEW YORK. Morning light at Juniper Valley Park, Queens, NYC. Splendid. 


 Sicilian spaghetti with garlic but it would be too simple a dish so along with the garlic it has lots of basil, fresh tomatoes and optional toasted breadcrumbs. The trick is to balance the flavors so that no ingredient overwhelms the others. A really easy and delicious dish.
