From old Jobs / Canon 30D
One nice feature of keeping up with this blog is that I can peruse my old photos. Many are from jobs I shot. These rae from a summer camp at the Hagedorn Family Resource Center, part of Family and Children Association, an old client. I do not recall the lens used.

Happy birthday Italy
Today it's the 150th anniversary of the creation of the Italian State. This unification, began a year earlier in Marsala, Sicily, when Garibaldi's Mille landed and freed the island from the Bourbons. The rest, as thy say, is history. A year later, the so called unification, or better the annexation of all of Italy by Piedmont under the Statuto Albertino, the constitution of Piedmont,AKA the Kingdom of Sardinia, with King Victor Emanuel as head of state and Cavour as the prime minister took effect. It should have been a republic from the very beginning. This dream was finally realized with the Italian Constitution of 1948 after a plebiscite that sent that pathetic monarchy packing. Good riddance.
So, happy Birthday Italy. Not Italy the nation that has existed since the Aeneid but Italy the state. Many more.

Poppies / Canon 5D
Tribute to Japan / Nikon D-200
There are no words that can express the sorrow that I feel for the people of Japan. We photographers, especially, are indebted to the creativity of the Japanese. Without them we would be shooting either with super expensive and super conservative German cameras or with the plasticky stuff that the US produced. This image shot at the Japanese Garden at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden is only a small token of appreciation that I have for such great people. The food isn't bad either. I am sure that Japan will rebuild and come out of this nightmare stronger than ever.
BTW, the lens was another small Japanese masterpiece, the 35-135 F3.5-4.5 Nikkor.

There was something right about the skin tones of the D 1-X. Only the Fuji S2-Pro did better. The Nikkor 35-135 F 3.5-4.5 was used.
