NEW YORK, NEW YORK – We went to the opera Thursday evening: The Met’s riveting production oF Richard Stauss’s Elektra. Susan Bullock had her Met premier singing Elektra, Deborah Voigt broke new ground for herself as Chrysothemis, and Felicity Palmer did a sensational job as Klytemnestra. I went to Lincoln Center early to do my photo of the day – my one potentially good image was spoiled as a security guard got in the way. You evidently can’t shoot with a tripod in the Lincoln Center plaza – not even a very small one. I’ve substituted the same point of view and time of day from a few days earlier. I hope not to have to do this again.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK – An early heavy rainstorm drove me off of the street. When the weather cleared in the afternoon. This from my window.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK – Today I worked on a long-running project – photographing iconic structures. I’ve been putting off the Brooklyn Bridge for some time – John Roebling’s masterpiece is a truly intimidating subject. The light was dull so this is not a day for great art, but for exploring angles and pedestrian approaches in a part of Manhattan that is dominated by on and off ramps. The plan as always is to sneak up on on the icon, rather than confront it frontally. I plan on exploring the Brooklyn side later in the week. If we have a decent sunrise or sunset in the next week I’ll try it in infrared.

WARREN, CONNECTICUT – We’re having our first snow storm of the season. We’re on a high point, a few hundred feet above Lake Waramaug. The difference in elevation is enough that we have much more snow over the winter season than the lake. There are many, many more churches to photograph in Litchfield County but I felt that I should give you a break.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK – Another beautiful morning. I caught this on the fly running to a morning meeting.
