I wish I were there; it's not possible to travel at the moment.

Agrigento, long ago

These images date from 1972 and are from the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento [Agrakas] Sicily. They were taken with a Canon FT and with Kodachrome film. No photo shop tricks used then or now on these images. I wonder where the little girl who was part of a wedding party is today. She is most likely a grand mother. Photography is funny that way.

These images date from August of 1969 and were shot on Agfachrome 50 that did not remain color true. The film was cheaper than Kodachrome but the quality was not that good. Today with digital there is no film cost but in the old days film and processing were a considerable expense. In many cases black and white conversion is the only remedy. to preserve the images. Once more I wonder where time went...how it flew...But as you can see there were co crowds then. No smart phones, no selfies and no congestion. Life was really good.

I have posted many photos of this wonderful area west of Castellammare and part of it's territory. These images were made this past May during la primavera or springtime. It was late afternoon and the images took a more magical appearance. Below you can see the tonnara or tuna fishing outfit and the famous faraglioni or sea boulders that rival those of Capri. Countless ads have been made in this area as well as many movies. I just love the place.
