This candid image is of my friend, the late Professor Amedeo Maiello. We wer at CCNY together and then he continued his studies at the Istituto Universitario Orientale in Naples where he then taught eastern studies. Unlike in the US, in Italy it's still OK to say the word orientale. The mind police is not very strong there. This man was the most hospitable person I have ever known. On the several visits to his lovely home and family wasn't even allow to pay for a caffé. He would pick me up at the airport in Rome or Naples an could not do enough for me. Friends are really one's true wealth. I'm honored by the great friendship of his widow and of the fact that his two lovely daughters call me uncle Rocco. To me they are the nieces I never had. I love them dearly. I miss this irreplaceable friend so much.
Greetings, this blog is dedicated to my life in photography. I want to make this a place to stop and relax. In the hope that this will help in these trying times
