WARREN CONNECTICUT – More work with bokeh – the quality of the out of focus portions of the image. As you may recall, my most used lens is a LEICA APO-SUMMICRON-M 50mm and that shooting at f2.0 I find the bokeh at bit jarring. Stopped a stop and a half to f3.4 produces amazingly creamy bokeh – just want I’m looking for. So the answer with this lens is f3.4 and be there.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – As I’ve gotten more deeply into this project (7 ½ years at this point), my work on my very good days has gotten better while my work on my so-so days hasn’t moved much. That leads to a sense of greater highs and lows than when I started this saga. Today, it turns out, was a high day. I went out looking to take advantage of the fact that the block to the West of Grand Central Terminal is vacant – actually a construction site – allowing light to hit the terminal, and allowing a view of the terminal, that hasn’t been possible for half a century. I actually came back with something quite different.
