 These beaten up chairs were at the South Street Seaport in Manhattan in the eighties before this venue became popular. I like the composition. Shot on Kodachrome II with a Nikon F and a 50.. F 1.4 Nikkor lens.

 Time for leftovers. Nothing is ever wasted in my kitchen, not to mention that at times it's easier not to cook. I had leftover linguine with pesto of zucchine and fried zucchine along with pomodorini and also had lentils and red cabbage on couscous so I decided to marry them so to speak. The result was a very nice supper full of peacelly competing flavors.



 Boy did I love my first medium format camera, a Yashikamat 124. Coney Island April of 1975 using Ektachrome 120 film. The colors and resolution are just superb. I had many more 120 format cameras such as the Yashikamat 124-2, a Minolta Rolleicord, a Koni-Omega, Mamyias of various kinds and finally a couple Rolleis including the one used by my dear mentor and teacher, Josef Breitenbach that I treasure like no other camera. Yes indeed, I loved this format. 


 I had prepared some avocado salad and decided to add some canned mackerel in olive oil for a more nutritious meal. The result was a delightfully memorable lunch.

 San Gemignano, Tuscany a hilltop village known for its many towers. In its heyday, it had several hundred of these structures. The ones that remain are still very impressive.


 I love salmon and try to eat it once a week because it also provides omega 3 among other beneficial nutrients. Here I prepared with pomodorini and grill asparagus. Very nice.

 Blue flowers are rather rare in nature but they are usually exquisite. This is an early digital close up from flowers in my garden.
