NEW YORK NEW YORK – I spent the day rushing around on some personal missions. I managed to capture the shell of a former armory as I passed it (it wasn’t that difficult) in ok light. Some days are worse than others.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – I’m shooting today with my Leica Monochrom and an 85mm Nikkor from 1956 or so. This lens was made for the Nikon Rangefinder camera and has roughly the same mount as Contax. David Douglas Duncan (a prominent Life Magazine photojournalist) discovered the Nikokors, and this lens in particular, while shooting in Japan; his editors at Life Magazine were stunned by the images. This was the start of the international ascent of the Nikkors and Nikon.

This its still a remarkable lens. Here’s a Steve Huff review: Huff review

NEW YORK NEW YORK – – Still shooting with my old Carl Zeiss lenses. I’ve grown tired of struggling with these lenses on my Sony camera so I’ve switched over to my Leica Monochrom, at least for today. Here’s what it looks like with the 28mm lens from 1937 mounted on it. With this lens I’m relying on hyper focusing.

BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS – Here again and still shooting with legacy Carl Zeiss Jena lenses. Today I strapped the tiny 2.8 cm (28mm) f8.0 Tessar from 1937 onto my Sony 7rii. The best image of the day was a shadow selfie with security camera, but because of the difficulty of managing and shooting with this odd lens it was slightly out of focus. It’s ok at web resolution so I’ve presented here flaws and all. Also some images of the Boston Federal Reserve Bank in brutalist light. Did I mention that turning the Sony color images into something that looks like my work is a huge time sink.

On this day six years ago (day 90): Poets Walk, Central Park. A common tourist shot for a good reason, reasonably well executed here. One of the commenters on Twitter on this image referred to The Third Man, the fabulous film noir from 1949. Indeed this film has been an important influence on my visual style. Ironic that I’m shooting now with lenses from that era.
