I-Am Renaissance '08!
The Italian Cultural Center at Casa Italia will open its
Summer Art Show
in the Chandelier Room of Casa Italia on
Thursday evening August 7 at 7 PM 3800 Division St., Stone Park, IL.
More than twenty professional painters, sculptors and photographers are expected to show their works in this annual event which will run through mid September. Organizer Dominic Candeloro of the Casa Italia has invited artists of Italian background and those who depict Italian/Italian American themes to come together in a local display of the Renaissance.
Among the artists displaying their works are noted designer John Bucci, filmmaker-painter Tom Palazzolo, painters Julia Oemke, Nuccia Lucini, Anthony Panzica, Anna Pagnucci, John Bertucci, Claudia Pontarelli-Hallissey, Leemarie Gaimari Bonk, Nick Benero, Rita Dianni Kaleel and Horacio Baggio, sculptors Joseph Burlini and Robert Buono, and photographer (this blog's very own) Dominick M. Maino.
The art show is free and open to the public. Call Casa Italia at 708 345-5933 to make appointments to visit the exhibit. Many of the pieces in "I-Am Renaissance '08"!" are for sale and a number of the contributing artists will be on hand both for the public opening reception at 7 pm on Thursday August 7 and during the subsequent days of the show.
Mr. Candeloro will continue to accept artists' proposals to participate in the event (with jpeg samples of their work) until July 31. He may be reached at Dominic.Candeloro@gmail.com or 847-951-9109.

Sensors Exposed
At the heart of every digital camera is an image sensor, a silicon chip that contains millions of tiny light-sensitive photodiodes. Each photodiode produces a pixel of the captured image, and the number of pixels (resolution) is the horsepower spec that gets the most attention. However, the quality of the final image isn’t determined by the number of pixels alone. When comparing cameras and their sensor specs, you need to do more than merely count megapixels—there’s a lot more about sensors that you’ll want to consider.
