 One of my earliest photos. Made on a borrowed Kodak Retina folding 35mm camera. I did know that Kodachrome II gave excellent colors. Downtown Manhattan shot from Brooklyn's promenade. 


 An experiment. Corn is in season and very good these days so I decided to make a corn and zucchine thick soup with half and half. Very tasty and satisfying.

 Girl sitting by the window in  restaurant in Great Barrington, Massachusetts way back in 1971. Leoca M-4 with Kodachrome II. 


 This dish is certainly an acquired taste to say the least. Tripe, just the idea makes some squirm but when prepared well it's a delicious dish. This is the classic trippa alla siciliana, or Sicilian style tripe. There are a myriad of ways all from regional Italian cuisines, the most known are trippa alla romana (roman style) and trippa alla fiorentina, Florentine syile. I do not prepared too often but when I do it's always a treat. Try it, you may like it.

 Sometimes I crave for meat. An angus burgher atop slice of rustic bread accompanied by sliced tomato and sauteed string beans with tomato and garlic. It's what's for dinner.
