The pleaseres of medium format black and white

I do not miss film much but I do miss, occasionally, what was possible with a 6X6 camera loaded with a good black and white film. This shot from many years ago,  was made on a Yashica 124 with Plus X Pan film.

Have a splendid weekend

You got to love this city

There's no place like Times Square anywhere. The energy is palpable, the architecture is world class. What's not to like?

VENEZIA

There's always Venice when I run out of ideas as to what to post. Here are some  people photo as opposed to the more common architectural ones.

Fall is here

As it's customary, the colors of the blog change to reflect the seasons. Of course these colors apply to the northern hemisphere. You lucky residents of the southern half are now looking forward to spring.
I post a few images to celebrate the fall season, a magical time in New York and the entire north east of the country.

I love this city

I have had not gone to Times Square very often and this is my loss. I just went there recently to go see a Broadway musical and the street show in Times Square was better than the theater show. It is actually unbelievable was goes on there. There is no other place like it on this planet. I will post a few more images as I process them. These are two of the more "normal" images. Stay tuned for more "interesting" ones.

Torino

Torino is a surprisingly beautiful city. I say surprisingly because one usually associates it with an industrial site  and with northern social coldness. It surprised me and I have always come away with pleasant memories. It is worth visiting. It was Italy's original capitol and is always was a very wealthy city so it has great architecture. In these images of the >River Po, one can see the Alps in their glorious majesty.

Have a wonderful week; enjoy your espresso daily

Have a lovely Sunday

Enjoy the roses before they are gone until next spring, and yes stop to smell them.
