MANHATTAN – I walked up Third Avenue with my Sony A7riii today. The light turned interesting for a few moments.

Day 3231 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.

WINGDALE NEW YORK – I drove over here today to drop Alexander off at the train station. This little hamlet is the home of the Harlem Valley Psychiatric Center, a vast property built by the State for the treatment of the mentally ill, which was closed in 1994. It’s genuinely spooky.

Day 3230 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.

LONG ISLAND CITY NEW YORK – I spent a good part of the day in Long Island City, the area in Queens just across from Randalls Island, shooting around the Pepsi sign. I was there seven or eight years ago when the area was a garbage strewn tidal mudflat. Now it’s a lovely waterfront park with luxury high rises with commanding views of Manhattan. All taken with my Sony A7riii.

Day 3225 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.

Just another Manhattan skyline but I’ve been shooting 432 Park Avenue (the needle building in the center of the image) whenever I see it.

Pepsi sign

We’ll here you have it: color! I wasn’t able to make this image work in black and white – the grays all merged – and I like the angle so I’ve departed from my B&W only policy, for the first time in years.

MANHATTAN – A dreary day enlivened by a visit to Francesca and Derek to count Oliver’s fingers and toes. Not really in the zone for photography.

Day 3223 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life (a palindrome!).
