Vintage street photography

As the old saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. These women must have thought that they were beautiful and stylish I just cannot believe the hair styles.

Early seaport image



In 1975, the South Street Seaport adjacent to the old fish market was still in it's infancy. Needless to say the redolence was overwhelming. Slowly it grew to become one of the city's great venues. The fish market moved to to The Bronx taking away the smell. This is a medium format shot with Ektachrome 100 Pro and my Yashika 124, my first foray into medium format.

A balcony

Piazza Petrolp in Castellammare del Golfo is one of the most sought after new residential area. It looks north onto the blue sea of the gulf. It used to be an unappreciated commercial area but now with gentrification it has become trendy. It's value is real because of it's superb location. This balcony is typical of the newly renovated houses

Red in the morning, sailors take warning

Mid winter, a few years ago. I was going out for the early morning dog walk when I noticed this red sky at sunset. My iPhone did the rest. later in the day a really nasty storm developed. There's truth in the saying.

Alas, no feast this year

The feast of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel in Brooklyn was one of the best. It would be going on at this very time but the dreaded virus put it on hold. Too bad, it was always a fun place to go.
