SINGER ISLAND – Getting close today to a sun hat. I’m still shooting with my Ricoh GR Monochrom – its poor light performance is quite disappointing – lots of noise by ISO 6000 and doggy autofocus. Neither is an issue for this image, which I’m posting because some more ambitions images for the day are out of focus and too noisy. Oh well . . . .

Looking back exactly 16 years to Times Square. Day 135 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA – We had a walk through of the Bunker Artspace with John Welter, its director. The Bunker Artspace opened in 2017 as a private art gallery to present rotating exhibitions of the Beth Rudin DeWoody Collection. The Bunker building was built in the 1920s as a toy factory, and was utilized as a munitions factory during World War II.

SINGER ISLAND – Here’s another out my window (actually off of our terrace) with the Ricoh Monochrome. The camera’s lens is wide, a 28mm equivalent. It offers “crop modes” equivalent to 35mm and 50mm. Interestingly the camera upscales the cropped files to roughly 30 megapixels. I expected the worst, but the files are actually flawless. This is a demanding architectural subject shot in the 50mm cropped mode and upscaled by the camera. The highlights aren’t blown and there’s reasonable shadow detail. There’s no barrel of pin cushion distortion.

Looking back six years to an image taken on film with a Hasselblad XPan Camera. This is a detail from the George F. Baker House, located at 67-69 East 93rd Street near Park Avenue in Manhattan, an historic Gilded Age mansion designed by Delano & Aldrich in the 1920s.Day 3,783 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
PALM BEACH GARDENS, FLORIDA – Here’s Francesca doing mommy duty at Gigi’s and Oliver’s school. The Ricoh Monochrome works pretty well at events – I’m going to have to master its “snap focus” feature to bet really good at events though.
