NEW MILFORD CONNECTICUT – This is the two year anniversary of my photo-a-day effort. I haven’t missed a day! 730 days with at least one photo every day. This is just the beginning! I’ve included the first picture in this effort (from October 16, 2009), an image of the Jean Dubuffet statue in One Chase Manhattan Plaza. Today we had a picnic on our last outing of the year in our 60-year old wooden boat. Photographed with with my Leica M9 and 24mm Summilux lens.

I’ve also included below the third in my 24-hour “self” series. Taken on February 13, 1999 at with my Arca Swiss 8×10 view camera.

ON BOARD THE SHROUD DANCER – So I’ve decided to focus on skies this trip. In color. Using a circular polarizer which in the general direction of 90˚ from the sun darkens the sky dramatically. In other words “the hell with not hackneyed”. Maybe even a bit in the direction of kitsch.

Here we are sailing to Bequia on board a friend’s boat, the Shroud Dancer. Take with my Hasselblad H4D and a 28mm lens. This is two frames stitched.

On this day last year: Guess what – Mustique!. This is the post with my self-important note about color in the tropics.

NEW MILFORD, CONNECTICUT – I visited a terrific craftsman’s workshop today – a man named Roger Standt who specializes in restoring wooden Chris Craft boats.  This is the inside of his shop.  I was there looking at a 1954 Chris Craft that I’m buying with a friend.  I’ve attached a picture as a comment.
