NEW YORK NEW YORK – Today the Chrysler Building (the first two images below) and more on 9th Avenue. All taken with my Leica Monochrom.
Day 2022 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day five years ago (day 196): Chrysler Building. Color as originally posted. Much stronger in black and white. April 29 is a Chrysler Building kind of day.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – I found my self midtown on the West Side today. I’m going to have to come here more often – the light was spectacular and at street level it looks like New York from the 1940s. A perfect Spring day – I had trouble editing today so you’re getting a mini gallery. All shot with my Leica Monochrom, generally multiple frames stitched in Photoshop.
Day 2021 of one photograph a day for the rest of my life.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – I’m very busy preparing for a whole series of meetings. My limited time outside today yielded little in the way of images, but there was a moment of amazing light out my window that I managed to capture in two images.
Day 2020 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day three years ago (day 925): Spring in NY. As I went back through the various April 27s in the past five years I observed that I shot them all in color and they are all flowers. This is what I call the “Spring trap” and I evidently fall into it this time of year. I’ve re-imagined the image from three years ago as black and white. Interestingly the converted files always look a little plasticy, not as authentic as the Leica Monochrom files.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – Two views of the Lower East Side: a look up at the slick facade of the New Museum, and a full frontal portrait after Weston of a disused synagogue. Both taken with my Leica Monochrom and 35mm Summicron Lens; the New Museum is a single frame; the synagogue is eight frames stitched.
Day 2016 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
