NEW YORK NEW YORK – I don’t shoot with long lenses that often but I do like the combination of my Leica T, a couple of adapters, and my Leica R 280mm f4.0. This is a remarkable lens, given a new lease of life with the Leica T and its pretty good through the lens focusing. I’m enjoying experimenting with this lens shooting out my window. Here I’ve found a guy having a smoke on the roof of a building.

Day 1,862 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.

On this day five years ago (day 35): Old technology. This is a reshoot of day 28. I went back to Grand Central Terminal with the “bokeh king” (a 35mm Leica Summicron v.IV) lens and shot a much more energetic version of the pay phones image.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – Well . . . remember those meetings that I wrote about over the weekend? They’re now. I managed to slip out for a half hour to shoot around midtown, so here you go. Nothing earth shaking here, just lucky to have some images.

Day 1,859 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – I took a break from meeting preparation to take a walk with my Leica Monochrom and 90 mm Elmarit lens. I ended up doing a lot of stitches – the lens was a bit long for most of the subjects that I saw. The example below is three frames stitched.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – Well, here it is, mid-November, and we’ve had our first snow. Not much – three inches or so – but a clear demarkation of the start of winter.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – Still shooting the Noctilux, mostly wide open. Today I’m out with a 1.8 neutral density filter (six f-stops of darkening) which lets me shoot wide open on this sunny day. Here we go with a fairly common subject for me, two frames stitched.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – I’m still lugging around the Leica Noctilux f.95 lens. it weighs almost two pounds, more than doubling the weight of my Leica monochrome camera. Here is some architecture from the street and in image at a book party for a friend’s new novel.
