NEW YORK NEW YORK – On the street with my Leica Monochrom and Dual Range Summicron lens from the 1950s.
Day 2385 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day last year (day 2020): Barn
NEW YORK NEW YORK – I spend another day running around Manhattan. The light was pretty good but nothing exceptional. Here are a commonplace view on Park Avenue and a Mr. Softie truck.
Day 1,688 of one photo every day for the rest of my life.
On this day last year: Edwardian dinner.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – A new lens for my Alpa. Yesterday’s experiments finally convinced me that my 45 mm APO-Rodenstock Grandegon was just not up to the demands of a 60 megapixel back so I’m selling it and I’ve replaced it with a Schneider 48mm APO-Helvetar, which is optimized for large, high resolution digital applications. I’m experimenting to see if this longer focal length can successfully be used handheld in my Alpa TC. So far the results are mixed – it takes some time to find a working relationship with a new lens. Here’s an image of “visual noise” (and street food) on Park Avenue that came out of today’s effort.
On this day one year ago: Nan Talese at yet another party ant Antonio Monda’s.
