RALEIGH NORTH CAROLINA – I’m here on business so get prepared for a rough patch in the daily photo scene. Traveling with my Leica Monochrom, but shooting a lot between meetings with my iPhone.
Day 1,915 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.
On this day three years ago (day 1,185): Fog. It turns out that I have quite a few images of fog. Comes with the turf in living in the Northeastern US.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – The wasn’t much opportunity for psychic focus on photography today – my attention was diverted to preparations for some client meeting that start tomorrow and preparations for our departure to India on Friday of next week. Also, the light here was flat and dull. I ended up experimenting with some “shoot up” angles, clearly not as interesting here as in Manhattan.
Day 1,914 of one photograph a day for the rest of my life.
On this day three years ago (day 818): Out my window. Original in color. Converted to grayscale.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – Here is another exercise in looking up. Neither my best nor my worst. Typical nice winter light on Park Avenue. I’ve decided to give my 28mm Summicron lens a little bit of exercise. It’s a bit too wide for this style of shooting which depends on stitching multiple images to achieve large-format resolution; this type of image has very little impact if it’s small.
Day 1,908 of one photo a day for the rest of my life.
On this day two years ago (day 1,178): Santa Monica Pier. A harmless exercise in street art.
BANTAM CONNECTICUT – I shot around an abandoned factory here today with my Carl Zeiss 1945 Sonnar lens. There’s a bit urgency to this: Bantam is enjoying a real revival; the abandoned factor is actually in an early state of restoration.
Day 1,900 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.
On this day three years ago (804): Baby cloud. One of my favorites from 2011.
BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS – This started as a travel day with a trip here from New York. You may remember that travel days aren’t my best: the hassles of travel make it difficult for me to concentrate on the visual. I ended up shooting a picture of my iPad with my iPhone. It’s not Caravaggio but it keeps the string alive.
Day 1,860 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.
On this day two years ago (day 1,130): Maria swims.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – Still shooting the Noctilux, mostly wide open. Today I’m out with a 1.8 neutral density filter (six f-stops of darkening) which lets me shoot wide open on this sunny day. Here we go with a fairly common subject for me, two frames stitched.
Day 1,855 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.
On this day five years ago (day 29): Birthday party.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – Blah day on the upper east side. Two frames stitched with my Leica Monochrom.
Day 1.832 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.
On this day three years ago (day 736): XXX at the Public Library.
