Late afternoon in the neighborhood known as Little Italy. “Authentic” Italian restaurants line either side of the street. My father lunched at one that stated on the menu it was John Gotti’s favorite restaurant.
High praise, indeed!
“Don’t carry a gun. It’s nice to have them close by, but don’t carry them. You might get arrested.”

My father did not teach me everything I know about photography. But he did let me borrow his camera from time to time when I was growing up. Last week, he flew to New York to scatter his parent’s ashes at the beach on Coney Island where my grandfather and grandmother first met. He asked to borrow one of my cameras and I offered the Canon, but he preferred the lighter, newer Fuji. What could I do? He’s my father!
While he was waiting for his flight, he practiced with the controls on the camera and caught this image of some unknown traveler. I loved the image and asked to process it. He agreed and I am now in the midst of processing all his selected favorite images from that trip. With his permission, I will post a few from time to time.
I was going to travel with him but work and home responsibilities prevented me from finally getting to meet Joe Giordano and his wife, Terry, Stacy Fischer, and Patti Kuche.
Maybe one day soon…

As the sun slowly fades into the west I bid farewell to yet another year with fondness and gratitude for your company and support here on Monochromia.
Grateful thanks as ever to Joe for not only starting up the enterprise but more importantly for keeping it going with more than a modicum of ease and class.
Season’s greetings to one and all!
(Did this year just fly by or what?)
