NEW YORK NEW YORK – I took a walk through Central Park today, familiar terrain for millions of iPhoners and tourists of all nations. Again, Spring is enchanting here, two weeks of payback for five months of grueling Winter.
Day 2028 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day three years ago (day 932): Meh – obviously a distracted day.
NEW PRESTON CONNECTICUT – Falling into the Spring trap here. At least the overall tonality is dark. After this year’s savage winter Spring really is irresistible. It only last for a few weeks so we can get back to serious business soon.
Day 2026 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day three years ago (day 930): Vacant Lot. Originally posted in color.

Day 2023 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day two years ago (day 1293): Wiggly Building.

Day 2022 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day five years ago (day 196): Chrysler Building. Color as originally posted. Much stronger in black and white. April 29 is a Chrysler Building kind of day.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – I found my self midtown on the West Side today. I’m going to have to come here more often – the light was spectacular and at street level it looks like New York from the 1940s. A perfect Spring day – I had trouble editing today so you’re getting a mini gallery. All shot with my Leica Monochrom, generally multiple frames stitched in Photoshop.
Day 2021 of one photograph a day for the rest of my life.
On this day last year (day 1656): Another angle on my favorite subject
NEW YORK NEW YORK – I’m very busy preparing for a whole series of meetings. My limited time outside today yielded little in the way of images, but there was a moment of amazing light out my window that I managed to capture in two images.
Day 2020 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day three years ago (day 925): Spring in NY. As I went back through the various April 27s in the past five years I observed that I shot them all in color and they are all flowers. This is what I call the “Spring trap” and I evidently fall into it this time of year. I’ve re-imagined the image from three years ago as black and white. Interestingly the converted files always look a little plasticy, not as authentic as the Leica Monochrom files.
NORTHVILLE CONNECTICUT – I’ve driven by this falling down barn many times. this time the light was interesting so I stopped and shot.
Day 2019 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day five years ago (day 193): Foggy Park Avenue. As originally posted this was in color but not much color since it was a monochrome day.
