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.
Day 2287 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On the other had on past January 19s I’ve found some spectacular images. I’ve chosen one from last years trip to India – on this day last year (day 1992): Old Delhi
WARREN CONNECTICUT – Not much to talk about today. Here are three pictures.
Day 2286 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day two years ago (day 1556): United Flight 1120 shot with my iPhone.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – Still shooting with the old stuff. Here is a photo of my Leica Monochrom with a Carl Zeiss Jena 13.5cm f4.0 Sonar lens – the lens is from 1936. The following images are made with it.

On this day three years ago (day 1189): I smell a rat.
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
The second image below is 8 frames stitched.

On this day six years ago (day 93): Terry Tanner’s barn Originally posted in color – it’s stronger in B&W.
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.
So . . . here are today’s images taken with the 28mm from 1937.
Day 2283 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day six years ago (day 92): Saks Fifth Avenue
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.
Day 2281 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
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.
