Have a pleasant weekend


A truly wonderful man

The type of photography I did allowed me to meet some wonderful and famous people. This is a photo of Pavarotti during a cocktail reception at the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan. I was working for an Italian paper and prime minister Spadolni of Italy was being honored. This being 1976, it is before he was propelled to super stardom. He was truly a celebrity. we spoke briefly and found a truly down to earth man. I shall never forget that evening.

I love this image

Dating back to 1972, this shot of a barber shop on Hoyt Street in Brooklyn, was made on a snowy day with a Nikonos II underwater camera that I used on very bad weather days. I absolutely love the results. Sometimes everything works.

Vintage medium firmat shot

Nothing can replace the World Trade Center. It left an great void. This shot dates from the eighties and was shot on Tri- X Pan. I do not recall which camera I used.

Scopello

The main entrance to the baglio or the interior court where the homes all had their main entrances. This afforded protection to the inhabitants.

Summer on my mind

I'm already tired of winter so I think of summer light and warmth. What can I say.
