NEW YORK NEW YORK – We made a pilgrimage to the Japan Society (near the UN) for the brilliant Sugimoto show, the Gates of Heaven, and caught a relatively new vest-pocket part on the way. We caroled on Park Avenue in the evening at the Brick Church ceremony lighting the Christmas trees on Park Avenue.

Day 2,971 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – My sister-in-law, Francesca Barra, has produced a documentary film based on Norman Lewis’s book, Naples ’44. Here it is opening here at the Film Forum. I took my Leica Monochrom, which was the wrong choice of equipment for this event so the results were disappointing.

Day 2967 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – A perfect day. Francesca and Derek organized a continuation of last night’s party at the Breslin, and I spent some time shooting medium format film with my Mamiya 7 and a new (used) 120mm lens.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – Francesca organized a birthday party for herself and Derek at a venue here that specializes in ping pong. Great fun. I also shot some architecture off the street with a new Leica Wide Angle Tri-Elmar, a lens that I’ve owned before and now own again – it’s a terrific light lens for travel.
