Stir fried beef with peppers and onions accompanied by stewed cauliflower.

A classic cucina povera dish, chick peas soup to wich I added cauliflower for a more flavourful result. This is a totally vegetarian dish.

Have a beautiful weekend

Paradise

Words fail me in describing the utter beauty of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden during this period of spring.

Urban park

These images are from an urban Park in Corvallis, Oregon. It is so large that it makes one feel in the middle of a forest. This was morning light when it's more dramatic.

One of my all time favorites

Lower New York Bar shot from Brooklyn. The colors on the slide faded but converting it to black and white gave this image new life. New York will never be the same without the Twin Towers.

Bed Stuy a while back

These are photos of Brooklyn's Bed Stuy section before gentrification turned it into a very desirable but expensive place to live.

Enjoy your weekend

The Paris zoo

Although I'm opposed to the idea of zoos as in keeping animals in cages, the Paris Zoo, like the New York zoo are places where  animals have space to roam but up to a point, of course. These images shot on Kodachrome II back in 1972.

Have a beautiful week

When smoking was so cool

These were shot on Ektachrome 100 that I developed myself on Unicolor chemicals that have held on to their colors faithfully. One was converted to black and white for personal reasons. Prospect Place at Francklin Avenue in Brooklyn. The year was 1974 and the camera was the Nikon F with no meter, I used the Weston Master V to measure the light, and the fabulous Nikkor 35mm F 2.8 lens.

Solitude

The camera can capture and freeze all sorts of moments. Here I captured solitude and even some sadness. As these photod were taken in the seventies, I always wonder what happened to the subjects.

Happy Sunday
