Gruppo Agrakas
Gruppo Agrakas is a Sicilian folk group from Agrigento, Sicily. Agrakas was the original name of the wonderful city whose valley of the temples has the best preserved Greek temples in all of Magna Grecia. The name was then changed to Girgenti but the Duce renamed it Agrigento tp give it a Greek sounding Italian name. Enough trivia. This group is absolutely superb and they were performing at an Arba Sicula event at St, John's University in Queens, NYC. Arba Sicula is an organization whose aim is to foster Sicilian culture and it's language. More information can be found on the link in the blog.

Naples, a few years ago
As I go through my archive, I find personal stuff that I shot, looked at and put away because I was too busy with my business photos. These images were shot back in 1990 and are of the so called quartiere spagnolo or the Spanish quarters in Naples. Needless to say it became a rather run down area but being Naples it kept it's charm. These were all shot with a Leica M-4, a 35mm F 2 Summicron and Tri-X Pan film. It took guts walking around with a Leica in that neighborhood.
