BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS – I caught the first shuttle of the day from New York to have a bit of time here before meetings to catch my photo for the day. Really dull light and not much going on visually, so I’ve had to settle for a fairly tame near far thing with pansies taken with my Leica Monochrom and a 24mm Summilux lens. Not my proudest moment, image-wise.
On this day last year: An ugly corner of DC. Probably should have been converted to black and white.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – Our house in Warren in good backlighting. Taken with my Leica Monochrom. The fishing aspect of photography. I’ve been on this spot thousands of times but I’ve never seen this before. Two frames stitched.
On this day last year: Chair transformed by good light and my Noctilux lens.
WARRN CONNECTICUT – Fog. Lots of it. It’s atmospheric and it simplifies composition, muting backgrounds. It’s a pretty common phenomenon here in Warren. We’re on a hilltop that seems to be a fog magnet. Taken with my Leica Monochrom and 35mm Summichron lens.
On this day one year ago: Yawn. A water tank. Whoopee. In New York. Imagine that. An example of why I shouldn’t shoot color. I find the mixed lighting here very unattractive.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – Out with my iPhone today before the Opera (a life changer of a performance of Poulenc’s Dialogues des Carmelites – I’m still under its spell as I write this several days later). The Lincoln Center fountain and the facade of the Dakota.
On this day last year: Lincoln Center. Three years in a row at Lincoln Center on this date.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – I went to B&H to return the lens that I shot but didn’t like yesterday. and then walked from 34th street down to a dinner in Tribeca. Kind of semi-clear light that didn’t spark my imagination – remember that most of the stuff on the blog is urban landscape, but still landscape so it’s highly dependent on interesting light that doesn’t necessarily show up on my daily shooting schedule. Another effing church, the Church of the Holy Apostles in Chelsea. Shot with my Leica Monochrom camera and a 24mm Summilux lens.
On this day last year: Citscape through my Noctilux. World Trade Center II.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – Over the years we’ve developed a park-like area to the East of our house here, systematically clearing out underbrush and encouraging grass and ferns, and emphasizing the large, mature red and white oaks and sugar maples. In early spring the oaks have clusters of small light green flowers that look like nothing and shed pollen like the devil. Visually they lend a light green haze to the landscape – one of my favorite times of the year. Here you go, photographed with my Leica S medium format camera and a 24mm super wide angle lens.
On this day one year ago: Breakfast.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – Out and about a neighbor’s property in curtain filtered daylight. Not bad. Taken with my Leica S and a 35mm lens.
On this day last year: Noctilux on Broadway.
