NEW YORK NEW YORK – I liked the light here this morning so I was fairly productive. Choosing has been difficult so I’m presenting an mini-gallery today. All shot with my Leica Monochrom and 50mm Sumicron Asp. lens. In some cases images are stitched from multiple frames.
Day 2346 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day five years ago (day 520): Post office
NEW YORK NEW YORK – I sent my Monochrom to Leica for service today – it’s been over a year and it has had some very hard use so it’s time for a CLA (clean, lubricate and adjust). I decided to buy a second Monochrom as a backup – I found a very lightly used one from a reliable dealer. The new camera arrived today so I spent an hour putting it through its paces. It’s fine.
Later in the day I caught an alley with it.
Day 2345 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day last year (day 1980): Thornwillow Press
NEW YORK NEW YORK – It’s good to be home, but just ok images today. Maybe I need periodic travel, even if it’s only to Orlando.
Day 2344 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day last year (day 1979): Still Life with Venini vase.
ORLANDO FLORIDA – My last morning here and then travel home. The ides of March have turned out to be ok this year.
Day 2343 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day six years ago (day 152): Ciitibank
ORLANDO FLORIDA – Just to be clear I’m here for a conference. I didn’t volunteer for Orlando. It really doesn’t suit me. It’s dead flat and visually boring. Today was a travel day, which is usually bad for me but I managed to squeeze in some images at the far end of my travel, here. Interestingly I did end up with five or six ideas that came out well. Maybe I’m becoming more accomplished.
Day 2342 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day last year (day 1977): Winter’s grip is unceasing in Litchfield County Connecticut. I guess that’s why people move to Orlando.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – Another day of shooting with my new little 28mm f2.8 lens. To get this one I hold the camera at arm’s length above my head to see over a fence and made three shots that I stitched. A typical day.
Day 2341 of one photo every day for the rest of my life.
On this day three years ago (day 1245): Beantown
NEW YORK NEW YORK – On the street and at the Metropolitan Museum with my Leica Monochrom and the new 28mm Elmar lens, a lens that I’ve become addicted to.
Day 2340 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
In this day last year (day 1975): Old Nikkor. Last year at this time I was experimenting with an 85mm Nikkor lens (rangefinder mount) from the mid-1950s. It’s a lovely lens and was a breakout product for Nikon. This is a different image than the one I used last year.
