ST. VINCENT AND THE GRENADINES – A long travel day from New York to Mustique, our favorite island paradise. If you’ve been following these pages you know that my work on air travel days generally sucks. This, taken with my iPhone, is not as bad as usual. I’m down to three cameras at this point (probably a lifetime low): my Leica S, my Leica Monochrom and my iPhone. This simplifies travel but it means that I really depend on the iPhone because it’s my only “pocketable” camera.

On this day last year: Magical light transforms Naples Florida.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – More urban landscape (here from the West end of 14th Street) with my Leica S, but less stylized than yesterday and thus less successful. This is three frames stitched in Photoshop.

On this day last year: Painting.

NEW YOR NEW YORK – As I may have mentioned before I’m in the process of getting my sea legs with a new camera, a Leica S medium format camera. This is always lengthy process. It obviously requires familiarity with the controls, but also an understanding of the camera’s capabilities and how to get the most out of it. This requires months of intense usage. Some of my early images have been uninteresting but I’m starting to hit my stride working back over some familiar territory. Today it was skyscrapers in dramatic light, something that I’ve done a lot of given my inclination toward landscape and my residence in Manhattan.

On this day last year: hay bales.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – Martin Luther King Day. A Holiday so we’re still in Connecticut. The light was bleak but not interesting so not a lot of landscape imagery. I took this in the barn with my new Leica S.

On this day last year: Sundial.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – I spent today (photo wise) messing around with my new Leica S, Leica’s medium format competitor to Hasselblad and Phase One. There continues to be a lot to learn. Here are a couple of examples.

On this day last year: White brick apartment
