WARREN CONNECTICUT – An unseasonably warm, foggy day. This kind of weather rubs me against the grain. I’m an optimist. My glass is never far from full. I like sunny days with dark blue skies and puffy white clouds. None of that today. Here we are in the fog. Taken with my Leica Monochrom and a vintage 50mm Summicron lens, three frames stitched. By the way I’ve temporarily disabled my star rating system and my Facebook integration because they both play badly with a new version of WordPress that we installed a few days ago. We;ll get it sorted out eventually.
On this day one year ago: Bill and Bunny.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – Well here we are – it’s Advent but also the pre-Christmas shopping season. We blessedly no longer have small children and no grandchildren yet, so toy shopping is not part of our routine. But here I am outside of FAO Schwartz on Fifth Avenue on Pearl Harbor Day, two weeks before Christmas, with my Leica Monochrom and 35mm Summicron Asph. lens.
On this day last year: the Italian Institute.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – We had a dinner at a local restaurant with Kimball Chen. He is serious about his wine so the table setting was dominated by glasses and bottles:
On this day last year: Andy.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – We had a moment of brilliant light just outside of the building that my office is located in. One of the lessons that I learned on a four month photographic excursion in Brazil a decade ago was whenever good light arrives stop and shoot whatever is at hand. Anyway, the following are taken with my Leica Monochrom and am 18mm Super Elmar lens.
On this day last year: Shake Shack.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – It gets dark early this time of year. A school buss in the very early evening taken with my Leica Monochrom and 35mm Summicron FLE lens.
On this day one year ago: Maria on the Acela.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – I enforce a “no pets or cute kids” rule. Really. Well I’m making a sort of exception today for an image that started out as a picture of a standing vase from Spin in Shanghai in interesting light but ended up as a picture of Basil the Norwich Terrier. He’s a pet for sure so the picture breaks the rule. I’ve added a two frame stitch from the scuzzy stretch of Broadway in the 20s in case you’re a stickler and don’t want to look at a transgressive dog image. Your choice. Both taken with my Leica Monochrom; Basil with a 35mm Summilux FLE lens and the building with a 50mm Summilux, which is just back from a cleaning and adjustment from Nippon Photo Clinic.
On this day last year: iPhone Gallery.
