NEW YORK, NEW YORK – Back home.  Once again the weather is cold and wet.  This is my second try of a post for this date.  The first was a personal memorial for a 24-year-old woman who was evidently killed when her bicycle was hit by a car – it was moving in person but not a good photograph.  On March 26 I took it down and replaced it with this image, also taken on March 23, of the Chrysler Building from a long ways away (just north of the UN), which I think is more interesting.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK – This morning there was a lovely sunrise but I was rushing to a breakfast meeting. I had the same infrared kit with me that had worked so well on Monday. When stepped out onto the street after the meeting it was heavily overcast – a disaster, or at least not what I was looking for. After struggling all day to find a potential image that interested me it started to snow and I got this out our window.  The Triborough Bridge at night.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK – A perfect winter day.  I spent a good part of the day in the 30s and 40s in Manhattan with my Leica M8 and infrared filters.  This was an opportunity to stalk one of my favorite subjects:  the Chrylser Building.  A very productive day with some interesting experiments with out of focus images.  I’ve taken the liberty of posting two outtakes in a comment.
