RALEIGH NORTH CAROLINA – I’m here on business so get prepared for a rough patch in the daily photo scene. Traveling with my Leica Monochrom, but shooting a lot between meetings with my iPhone.
Day 1,915 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.
On this day three years ago (day 1,185): Fog. It turns out that I have quite a few images of fog. Comes with the turf in living in the Northeastern US.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – There was a snowfall here yesterday but not enough for cross country skiing or snowshoeing so visually I did what I could with a little bit of snow, good light and some animal tracks.
Day 1,913 of one photograph a day for the rest of my life.
On this day five years ago (day 87): Morris Connecticut.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – This is an embarrassment. Too many images. I put the lovely little Leica 35mm Summicron (current version) on my camera today and went out to upper Fifth Avenue in excellent late afternoon light. It was one of those days where everywhere I pointed my camera there was something of interest (at least to me). I ended up with a bunch of full frontal images of buildings, generally made up of multiple images stitched, and some park images. You might ask why I didn’t edit the images down a bit. Well I actually have. thanks for your patience in working through this maze of stuff.
Day 1,912 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.
On this day two years ago (day 1,182): Sunnylands. A pilgrimage to this mid-century icon in Palm Desert.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – I got out to Central Park at dusk on this foreboding, overcast day. Interesting. It turns out that dusk to early evening is actually good light – a fine insight for days that offer otherwise hopelessly dull light.
Day 1,909 of a picture a day for the rest of my life.
On this day five years ago (day 83): Empire State.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – Here is another exercise in looking up. Neither my best nor my worst. Typical nice winter light on Park Avenue. I’ve decided to give my 28mm Summicron lens a little bit of exercise. It’s a bit too wide for this style of shooting which depends on stitching multiple images to achieve large-format resolution; this type of image has very little impact if it’s small.
Day 1,908 of one photo a day for the rest of my life.
On this day two years ago (day 1,178): Santa Monica Pier. A harmless exercise in street art.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – Our last day of this almost two-week break in the country. It’s gotten very, very cold here, which at this time of year is not totally unexpected. Lake Waramaug has gone from being free of ice to frozen overnight. Here it is.
Day 1,907 of one photo a day for the rest of my life.
On this day last year (day 1,542): 94th Street.
WOODBURY CONNECTICUT – So what happens in Woodbury? Just one thing. This is the antiques capital of Connecticut. I don’t mean just the people (there is an assisted care facility on the edge of town). I mean dozens of stores, many of them with extremely good stuff. Maria and here sister made a scouting trip here yesterday. We’re back today to buy. The photo for the day was on the grounds of Mill House Antiques, where be bought a chair (it’s not clear to me that we don’t already have enough places to sit, but whatever) and an elaborate wooden model of an Italian cigarette boat. I’ll photograph it once we unbox it. The photo at the Mill House is taken with my Leica Monochrom (as usual) and a 28mm Summicron lens, a classic but not a focal length that I resonate with so I don’t use it much.
Day 1,906 of one photo each day for the rest of my life.
On this day three years ago (day 810): Taos Pueblo.
