NEW YORK NEW YORK – Today I actually took exactly one picture today: in an alley on 93rd Street. I’ve got a few other alley shots from earlier dates so maybe there is a thread that I should pursue. Or maybe not. Reviewing the past almost five years of images I’ve learned that August 1 isn’t a terrific day for me in terms of photography.

On this day four years ago (day 290): Could be any place.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – While waiting on the 53rd Street Station for the E train (which is depressingly far under ground) I heard the sound of “Amazing Grace” being played on a bagpipe. I walked the length of the platform to investigate and found, rather than a ruddy Scot campaigning for succession, a wan, very sick-looking, young man. Here he is.

On this day three years ago (day 654): Lamu.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – A pedestrian “look up” and some pedestrian pedestrians. I’m cycling through lens choices for my Leica Monochrom, preparing myself mentally for a trip to Basque country in Spain in a week or so.

On this day three years ago (day 653): Dhow, Lamu. Taken with my Phase One IQ 180 (subsequently sold because I get better results overall with my Leica Monochrom).

Day 1,748 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.
On this day four three years ago (day 652): Lamu, converted from the original to black and white. Lamu was relatively safe three years ago but it’s in a bad neighborhood (15 miles or so from Somalia). Really a shame.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – I spent some time today exploring an old haunt – the plaza in front of the Seagrams Building. I never tire of this.

On this day last year (day 1,,443): Peter.

On this day four years ago (day 341): The Metropolitan Club.
