NEW YORK NEW YORK – We’re now in the run-up to next week’s trip to Tokyo and Hong Kong so I decided to shoot a Japanese vase with my new Leica Q compact camera. The Leica Q is a relatively compact camera with a lovely 28mm f1.7 fixed lens. It’s the most responsive point an shoot that I’ve ever owned. The lens’s lovely creamy bokeh is illustrated in the second shot of coleus gone to seed.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – Have I said this before? Reviewing the infrastructure for this site I noted that I have key words for “Fall”, “Winter” and “Spring”, but not “Summer”. I guess that’s because summer feels like the normal state of affairs, but statistically that’s not true – winters are actually a bigger deal here. Visually what summer means to me is green stuff overgrowing and pressing in on us. So I’ve added “Summer” as a keyword and you’ll see a bit of it here over the next month.
