All in the (Pascoe) family!

Speaking of Pie, a major bakery/bread maker here in Japan is called Pasco. no 'e'

Jeffy T, I know many Italian-American people that had their name altered or even would up changed to another name that does not at all sound Italian. I think it happened to some other Europeans also when they got to Ellis Island. Luckily all the Italian names in my family made it though without getting changed.

Joey, I believe that was standard practice to offer to "Americanize" names. When my Mon's dad came in, they offered to change his last Croation surname to Shoemaker - they told him that was the translation. He did not, and I am happy for that. But many did.

From D'Gregorio to Gregory. Beautiful, lyrical Italian name to an Irish one... not that I have a problem with that whatsoever, but when people ask me about my heritage they don't freakin' believe me!

(Doesn't help that I'm the most pale Italian on the planet.... )

Ah, what's in a name...

Bob , after seeing pics of you, I never would have thought Italian, Jeffy T on the other hand definitely looks it, no surprise there.

I always get the card that says "Do not Pascoe, do not collect $200,....."

You are right, I do look a little paler than normal there...

Looks like you were using a slow shutter speed too

So was it my dark, scruffy, fuzzy face or my rather... "prominent" nose that tipped you off Joey?!

Yes, the reason for the slow shutter speed is to retain enough ambient light so backgrounds do not go dark. This balancing act does have it potential artifacts, however, a worthwhile tradeoff for the most part.

Cool! And you don't use a faster ASA film, or push developing on the film, because we would all be too grainy or low-contrasty?
