This was one of my very first shot that I deemed to be good and sort of kindled my interest in photography. I had just returned from Europe and the camera was borrowed Kodak Retina folding 35 mm camera that was made in Germany. I had taken a few interesting photos in Venice and Paris before this also with the retina but this image of downtown Manhattan from Brooklyn Height's promenade made me realize that I could take pictures. Following this, I took courses and the rest, as they say, is history, It's a tribute to Kodak's Kodachrome II that this slide, shot in September of 1967, has kept it's color and brilliance.
Greetings, this blog is dedicated to my life in photography and my passion for good Italian food.. I want to make this a place to stop and relax. In the hope that this will provide some respite and peace. Thank you for visiting.
