A great philantropist
Horace Hagedorn was a very kind and gentle man. He started the Miracle Grow company that he eventually sold to Scott's. What made him so special was his philanthropy. This photo, one of my first digital images shot with a Nikon Coolpix 900, was made at the opening day of the Hagedorn Family Resource center. It shows the daycare area. This was an old school that was renovated and converted to a multi service center that he donated to Family an Children's Association of Long Island, my client. I just love this image that was totally candid and not posed.

The paese in 1990
Castellammare del Golfo has become super touristy. These images from the summer of 1990 show a kind of transition to the modern era. The marina was a working marina ittica meaning there still were respectable of fishing boats still operating. It has now become a marina turistica, meaning that a very large number of pleasure boats are docked in a huge number of floating piers plus a plethora of restaurants, bars, hotels and game parlors has sprung up like mushrooms. Sadly the number of fishing boats has dwindled to a precious few. Progress can be very irksome because in my humble opinion, this marina no longer has a sense of being. For example where there were boats moored, there are now large chairs for the costumers of the caffè and ristoranti. It's a opinion that when I put forward is usually received with hostility. You see every one is betting on tourism as the cash cow of the future.

There was something right about the skin tones of the D 1-X. Only the Fuji S2-Pro did better. The Nikkor 35-135 F 3.5-4.5 was used.
