WARREN CONNECTICUT – A picture of a picture: a Jacques Lartigue image of golf at Biarritz.  Lartigue was 10 or 12 years old when he captured this. A lifelong amateur photographer, Lartigue was discovered by John Szarkowski in the 1960s; Szarkowski mounted a major retrospective on Lartigue at MoMA. Lartigue’s early photos brilliantly document the life of the French upper classes in the Belle Époque.

Looking back three years to the Central Park Reservoir. I returned to this spot multiple times looking for exactly this, which I finally captured.  Day 4,900 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.

BANTAM CONNECTICUT – Interesting light. Still experimenting with my Ricoh Monochrome. Two frames stitched.  Friday the 13th but the stitching software worked fine.

Day 5,992 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.

Looking back exactly 12 years to a view of the World Trade Center. I remember this evening clearly – it was very cold — too cold to wait any longer for a pedestrian walking toward me, so I took this. Day 1,609 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.

SINGER ISLAND FLORIDA – Here’s a Bauhaus-looking composition involving a large house plant.

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

Looking back nine years to a popular spot in Central Park. This is often photographed but still successful for me. This image usually gets a warm response of social media. Day 2,704 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.

SINGER ISLAND FLORIDA – Singer Island is a geographical feature, not the name of a town. It’s actually located in Riviera Florida; Riviera has a bit of a scrufty reputation, so the fancy condos on the beach use the Singer Island name.
