On this day four years ago (day 889): Extreme perspective correction. Four years ago I was experimenting with extreme perspective correction using an 80meg medium format Phase One back. I’ve subsequently used this technique a lot, but have switched to stitching with my Leica Monochrom to produce the very large files necessary for this technique. See the image above.

HOUSTON TEXAS – I arrived here today for Fotofest, which my spelling corrector consistently tries to change to “footrest”. This is a several-months long biennial celebration of photographic images organized by some very energetic people here. Really terrific. There is an opportunity for a week of portfolio reviews by sophisticated reviewers – I’m here to promote my work.

Things are really kicking of for me in the evening so I had most of the day free to walk around downtown Houston with a camera, my Leica Monochrom. I’ve had a lot of trouble editing this day so I’m publishing and unprecedented number of images.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – I liked the light here this morning so I was fairly productive. Choosing has been difficult so I’m presenting an mini-gallery today. All shot with my Leica Monochrom and 50mm Sumicron Asp. lens. In some cases images are stitched from multiple frames.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – I sent my Monochrom to Leica for service today – it’s been over a year and it has had some very hard use so it’s time for a CLA (clean, lubricate and adjust). I decided to buy a second Monochrom as a backup – I found a very lightly used one from a reliable dealer. The new camera arrived today so I spent an hour putting it through its paces. It’s fine.

Later in the day I caught an alley with it.

Day 2345 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
