Thursday November 27, 2014 Thanksgiving

WARREN CONNECTICUT – I’m dreaming of a white Thanksgiving, just like the ones we used to know . . . .

Here we are after about a foot of snow in the past day. This is completely lovely. We managed some snowshoeing around our other activities which consisted mainly of eating and cooking.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – I spent most of the day on foot. After taking the tramway to Roosevelt Island I walked most of the length of the island, then across a bridge to Queens, then to the Socrates Sculpture Park on the East River, and finally to a subway stop and back home. The winter light was fabulous – I had a good day of photographs.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – I don’t shoot with long lenses that often but I do like the combination of my Leica T, a couple of adapters, and my Leica R 280mm f4.0. This is a remarkable lens, given a new lease of life with the Leica T and its pretty good through the lens focusing. I’m enjoying experimenting with this lens shooting out my window. Here I’ve found a guy having a smoke on the roof of a building.

On this day five years ago (day 35): Old technology. This is a reshoot of day 28. I went back to Grand Central Terminal with the “bokeh king” (a 35mm Leica Summicron v.IV) lens and shot a much more energetic version of the pay phones image.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – Well . . . remember those meetings that I wrote about over the weekend? They’re now. I managed to slip out for a half hour to shoot around midtown, so here you go. Nothing earth shaking here, just lucky to have some images.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – I took a break from meeting preparation to take a walk with my Leica Monochrom and 90 mm Elmarit lens. I ended up doing a lot of stitches – the lens was a bit long for most of the subjects that I saw. The example below is three frames stitched.
