Bio:I'm getting NO NOTIFICATION of your comments at my email address. You can write to my email listed on my website (madaiostudios.com), but don't ask for anything illicit. My photography is mostly "beautiful" portraits of the young (kids, teens, and very young adults). During the first 55 years of my life, this led to photo shows and publications. During the last 20 years I've been roundly condemned for the same photos. Also, my closest friend for the past 74 years, my sister Christina, passed away in 2021, so I created a new album celebrating her life. I was her caregiver.

Someone suggested I create this album of the "Princesa" - so, HERE IT IS. I think ~30 photos of one beautiful little girl could be monotonous, so I've mixed in photos of the city itself. BTW, right-wingers hate me because I show too much skin, left-wingers hate me because I'm praising beauty (what about all the ugly people?); and the pervs hate me because I don't focus on genitals. |

(...or, the "Nadine/Myriam" album) A continuation of pix I took of kids, teens, very young adults in Gaeta, all in the 90's ( a few after 2YK). There are also individual albums elsewhere for Giuliana, Sabrina, Elisa, Lino, etc. A lot of the pix of young ladies are also in the YL album (I'm still not sure if a 19-yr-old is a "kid" or "adult").

My travels to my favorite city of Gaeta (also, the nearby city of Formia) from 1969 through 2002. Le bellezze di Gaeta ed il popolo. I was first sent there with the US Navy in 1969, finished my service there, and kept traveling back every few years until 2002 (but I just returned this year after a 21 year absence). |

Family photos, especially those of my sister Tina (Christina) who passed away in 2021 due to cancer. I was her caregiver. She was a New York resident for 99% of her life, although she attended college in California in the 60's, and travelled extensively after that. One doesn't realize as the years pass by that the end is closer than you think. |

Another one of the "Bambini di Gaeta" albums. Gaeta Elena is a section of Gaeta, but they were once separate cities; from Wiki: "The nearby town of Elena, separated after the Risorgimento (reunification) and named after the queen of Italy, was reunited to Gaeta following World War I". Gaeta Elena is mostly centered on the fishing community and port of Porto Salvo. You're looking at a view of old Italia from half a half century ago. |

Katie the Kutie @15 is the beautiful child in the first foto. The adorable little boy in the second photo (Chris Z) is now a doctor. It was a pleasure taking photos of these munchkins for 30 years.

| lockNapoli - "vedi e poi muori" e lo "Scugnizzo" This album is mainly about the "scugnizzo napoletano" (and oftentimes "scugnizza"). There are also several "photojournalistic" photos from the 25 years I lived near Napoli and went to it's University in the 70's. The title "Vedi Napoli e poi muori" refers to the famous Napoletano expression - "See Naples before you die". It's a city and people I loved. There's also sections on Manfredonia and Bari - in Puglia, and Torre del Greco - near Napoli. You're looking into history here - these sights are no longer available. Since these are mostly minors, PERV comments not welcome. |

Modelling photos of a beautiful little girl, Concetta, who was 14 in 1997 and 15 in 1998. Most taken at Serapo beach in Gaeta; some were taken touring around Gaeta. Her boyfriend, an 18-year-old from Napoli, asked me to take these photos, which I happily agreed to. However, later she got into a big fight with him and, associating me with him (which wasn't true), got pissed off at me also. So she's never truly appreciated these photos. |

I separated out the photos of the kids I had from these two families because of the unusual length of time over which I took the photos - I took photos of Claudio (2nd foto) and his friends Enzo and Franco when they were "bambini" in the 70's. The photos of their children: Francesca, Simona, and Simone were all taken in the 90's (just updated with a 2023 photo). All taken in my favorite city of Gaeta. |

Sweet, pretty young women/girls doing some modelling. Nothing scandalous here, if you want something spicier go somewhere else. Many of these photos also appear in my "bambini" albums; since I still can't figure out whether a 19-year-old should be classified as a "kid" or a "young woman". |

Amazing how this little girl was concentrating so much on her net fishing that day in St. Tropez in 1996 that she barely noticed me and my camera (Canon F1 on Ilford FP4 film). I would have loved to give her the photos later, but I never saw her again. Some photos of the city included. St. Tropez was probably made famous by the photos of David Hamilton, but they'll never admit it. |

All little girl pixies this time doing tumbling, flips, jumps, and sometimes flops. Also some softball and soccer. The first gymnastics series was taken with the Frederick (MD) Gymnastics Club from 1993 to 1995. Second series was taken with the West Shore YMCA gymnastics team in 1997. The 3rd series was taken with the York YMCA gymnastics team in 1978. Softball and Futbol/Calcio (soccer) photos were taken in Maryland. |

I dated her Mom, Maria, for awhile; who ended up getting jealous because I took so many photos of her daughters. |

This album is dedicated to Lino (short for Paulino) a beautiful little boy of 10 years old in 1974 (some were taken in 1976), whom I took a bunch of photos at a beach establishment (I believe "Risorgimento") at the main beach of Serapo in Gaeta. Most of the photos were taken on Ilford FP4 and Kodak Ektachrome films, which I carefully preserved for 40 years until I was able to scan them a few years ago. The TLC I showed towards these films was well worth it. |

Boys (& sometimes girls) at swimming holes in Eastern PA. This was a long time ago and in an entirely different and extinct culture. Featured in the first series is a handsome lad called Tim. Butch was the dark boy in the last series in Marietta. I didn't get the names of the boys at Ephrata in 1981/85 and the girls at Marietta in '77. Taken on Tri-X and Ilford FP4 films with a Leica IIIf, Canon A-1 and FTb (for you dinosaurs out there who know what this means). |

Spin-off from the "USA Kids" album, which was getting too big. I worked in North Carolina as an engineering contractor from the late 70's to early 80's. All my cute kid photos here were taken ONLY during that time frame. I guess I was taking more photos than doing work! Note that although my "cover" photo is of a pretty teenage girl, that doesn't mean this album is full of "babe" shots. Girl, boy, little, teen - I love them all the same, just in different ways. |

Little Ms. beauty of beauties, 12 year old Oksana (Оксана) from the Ukraine. She was passing the summer with an Italian family in Gaeta. When the Soviet uni0n broke up, a lot of the families there were impoverished and a program was set up to send some of their children to relatively rich countries (which Italy was) to look after them for awhile. Most photos were taken with a Canon F1, Sigma zoom on Fuji NPS film. PS: Despite Russia recently deciding to re-annex Ukrania, Oksana and the other Ukranians will always be to me - UKRANIANS, and not Russians. |

When I took my best photos of these 2 pretty little girls, in 1996, Sabrina was 13 and Daniela 20. I have many more photos of them in other albums. Also included - Flora, the oldest sister. and Stefania. I paid more attention to taking photos of the 4 girls then Maria, that's why she's an ex. |
