NEW YORK NEW YORK – After a long weekend in Bermuda this is really a crap day – I spent the day at my computer catching up on administrative stuff that I hate. At about 4:00 I rebelled and decided to ride the Staten Island ferry to catch the good light with my Leica Monochrom. Here you go:
On this day last year: Rehearsal.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – Back home. Out the window of a taxi on the ride back from the airport.
On this day one year ago: Bus.
PAGET BERMUDA – We’re staying at the Coral Beach Club, which we were given an introduction to by a friend’s aunt way back when we were first married. We’re actually here with our children to celebrate our anniversary (today) and Maria’s birthday (yesterday). Still chugging along with my Monochrom. The weather was cloudy today – remember what I said about the reliability of the weather in Bermuda? Anyway, some images, first of the church of the oldest Protestant congregation in the Western Hemisphere:
An interior of the same church (done with the Monochrom and my 18mm Super Elmar):
The barista gets athletic:
On this day last year: Food.
PAGET BERMUDA – Still here. The great thing about Bermuda is that it’s close for us: two hours flying time from New York. The not great thing is that it’s too far North (the same latitude as North Carolina) to have reliable weather. Anyway, here are a few more images with the Monochrom.
On this day last year: Maria has a birthday.
PAGET BERMUDA – I’ve done something weird. Here we are on this island paradise and the only camera in my bag is my Leica Monochrom. That’s the one the shoots only in black and white. Here in pastel mecca. But for better or worse I’m here with the Monochrome and four lenses, a terrific light travel kit.
I’ll start with a sunset and then move on to a mini gallery of images from today without comment.
On this day last year: Morgan Library.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – On the street with my Leica Monochrom. I’ve never been good at street photography – it’s probably too late for me to change. My street photography is about at the level of my golf game – bogey in my dreams, much worse in actual fact.
On this day one year ago: 129 West 22nd Street. With my medium format rig.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – An odd day. We’re going to Bermuda for an anniversary and birthday celebration tomorrow and Basil the Norwich Terrier ended up here in New York – which is the wrong place for him when we’re traveling because a friend in Connecticut looks after him when we’re away. So I drove up to Connecticut, dropped the dog off, and drove back. This from the car wind with my Leica Monochrom.
On this day one year ago: Early Autumn.
