Aaron started his senior year in high school today. It is hard to believe that he’s already 17. I will always remember his sparkling brown eyes and mischevious grin. Have a great year Aaron. Love you.

Portrait of Aaron Fioritto
aaron-portrait Originally uploaded by mfioritto I ran across this negative last night. I really like this shot of my son Aaron Fioritto. I’m sure I was testing lights or a new background but I don’t really remember shooting it.
Looks like a half-frame shot
I had some Ilford XP-2 processed and scanned at Walgreens. They messed up the scans on the CD (at least the negs were cut right) so all of the pics look like they are from a half-frame camera. I kinda liked it. In this photo, Misake and Aaron Fioritto.

P.F. Chang’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Half-Marathon in Phoenix
My son Aaron Fioritto and I ran the P.F. Chang’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Half-Marathon in Phoenix a few weeks ago. After training in the Chicago winter, running in Phoenix was great. The temp at the start was about 50 degrees and it warmed up to the high 60’s towards the end. My old friend Tony Corso flew up from Texas…
Pet Peeves

I have this fear that my wife is going to dress me up when I am aged in matching outfits and parade me around the retirement center. If we’re heading out the door, I am always dressed first and…
Latest bicycle project: Trek 500 Tri Series
My latest bicycle restoration project was this Trek 500 Tri Series built up for my son Aaron Fioritto. Last year he rode the Bike the Drive ride on his mountain bike and was jealous of the roadies flying by on his left. So I picked up this Trek 500 Tri Series from Craigslist. The bike has a Reynolds 531 frame,…
Chicago: Bike the Drive
My son Aaron Fioritto heads north along Lake Shore Drive during Chicago’s Bike the Drive. You can see Soldier Field in the distance. It was a blast cruising around Lake Shore drive with approximately 15,000 other bicyclists. I’m sure we’ll do this again next year.
Boys day out
On Saturday my wife and daughter kicked me and my youngest son, Aaron Fioritto, out of the house for the day so they could study for tests. We started off at the guitar store where Aaron played with a bank of special effects pedals and various electric guitars. We’re pricing out an amp for his acoustic guitar, but I think…
