NEW YORK NEW YORK – I took a walk today in Midtown in the rain and captured 432 Park Avenue, the Nordstrom Tower, which for now will be the tallest residential structure in the world. There are various points of view on this, with some feeling that it’s a blight on the skyline, and others suggesting that it reflects the continued dynamism of Manhattan. Your choice on this issue.

Day 1,875 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.

On this day two years ago (day 1,145): Spin meets Basil, who uncharacteristically is in repose. This violates my long-standing rule against cute kids and dogs or other pets on this forum, so I’m taking the position that his is actually a picture of the vase in the background, which is from Spin in Shanghai, even though it is out of focus.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – More snow. This weekend I’ve been shooting almost exclusively with my Leica f.95 Noctilux lens. Today I used a 1.8 neutral density filter, which provides six f-stops of darkening and permits me to shoot wide open at f.95 in the brilliant snowy landscape. This provides for a distinctive look that can’t be obtained any other way. The first image is two frames stitched.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – So we’re here for a long Thanksgiving weekend with Alexander, Francesca, Laura and Baby V. This is turkey hash day: I turn 100% of the leftover turkey into hash, serve it for dinner, and toss the carcass – I don’t fid turkey stock to be especially useful. More snowshoeing and enjoying a perfectly clear, not-too-cold, winter day.

Day 1,870 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.

On this day three years ago (day 774): Really wide. Four frames stitched.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – I’m dreaming of a white Thanksgiving, just like the ones we used to know . . . .

Here we are after about a foot of snow in the past day. This is completely lovely. We managed some snowshoeing around our other activities which consisted mainly of eating and cooking.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – We drove up here this morning through a snow storm – we ended up getting about 12 inches here. This is fun. It’s still novel. We went snowshoeing. We probably won’t feel this way at the end of February.

Day 1,868 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.

On this day four years ago (day 407): Foggy Thanksgiving.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – I spent most of the day on foot. After taking the tramway to Roosevelt Island I walked most of the length of the island, then across a bridge to Queens, then to the Socrates Sculpture Park on the East River, and finally to a subway stop and back home. The winter light was fabulous – I had a good day of photographs.
