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. 

 Simply delicious. Italian Caserecce pasta with a sauce of pomodorini using only two cloves of garlic that are then removed, good olive oil and a few leaves of basis cut up by hand and the magic is done.

Take your pick

 The display pn a restaurant in venice specializing in sea food dishes. The costumer would pick what would be prepared Naturally the items were super fresh and the dishes super delicious This is a practice all over Italy in toop tier restaurants

 Early morning light at St. Augustine, Florida.

 Pot roast and mashed potatoes, quintessential American accompanied by sauteed string beans in tomatos wit garlic, quintessential Italian or more specific Pugliese, Puglia style and this is truly a happy marriage, 

Summertime and the living is easy......
