WARREN CONNECTICUT – We’re spending the Christmas holiday in Connecticut. We haven’t done this for a while – last year we took our family to San Miguel de Allende for the Holidays (as you will see from the “on this day last year” photos). I caught this view of our daughter, Francesca, trimming our Christmas tree. Leica M9 and a 35mm Summilux II lens.

One year ago on this date: Monarch butterfly migration. I’m taking the liberty of reproducing this one at full blog size – it’s one of my favorite images since I’ve started this project.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK – We had a casual dinner at home in the kitchen with two friends of long standing, Bill and Bunny Beekman. Here’s Bunny Captured with my Leica M9 and the 35mm Summilux II lens, my new favorite lens on this camera.

The out of focus portions of the image are particularly interesting. I shot Bunny at f/2.8, where the lens has the creamy out of focus character typical of the pre-aspheric Leica lenses; wide open at f/1.4 it has a more edgy character typical of the current generation of highly corrected fast lenses. The following is an example. In effect this is two lenses in one – how it draws the out of focus portions depends on f stop.

On this date last year: Gallery in San Miguel.
