NEW YORK, NEW YORK – Back home from Boston. I actually feel almost fine for the first time in over a week. I grabbed my Leica M9 and a few lenses and headed out to explore the second section of the High Line that opened while we were in Italy. For some reason I was in the moment and “on” – some fairly good work after a week of blah. Here are some samples, all taken with my M9 and a 24mm Summilux lens.

Someone left a Post-it note on the High Line. It says, in lovely cursive script, “The most popular US pet name is ‘Max’.”

A perennial border:

On this day last year: Boston Bus Terminal.

BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS – I managed to get myself to Boston for a day of meetings, despite being still slightly under the weather. I managed to find an hour to walk around the World Trade Center. Taken with my Panasonic GH2 and a 14mm pancake lens.

On this day one year ago: view from Centolire.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – Back in bed battling the flu from hell. We cancelled a dinner party. I spent the weekend trying to prepare for meetings next week through the fog of flu. I got out with my tech camera for a few minutes in the late afternoon:

On this day one year ago: Riverside Boulevard.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – I finally got out of bed today, although it turns out that celebration is premature. I met Francesca for coffee at her office and shot Grand Central Terminal with my medium format tech camera on the way. Hardly and innovative image, but I’m pleased to be off of my back.

On this day one year ago: Lexington Avenue Subway.

CAPRI ITALY – A doubly grim morning: a rare few hours of overcast, and we’re returning form Italy today. We did a walk around before getting on the aliscafo back to Naples. All taken with my Leica M9.

On this day one year ago: Lillis Funeral Home in New Milford Connecticut.

CAPRI ITALY – Here we are on the Fourth of July. There used to be fireworks and a big party in the Piazetta on the Fourth of July – the fireworks are alas gone – they were sponsored by a local Jeweler, Alberto y Lina, and the word on the street is they stopped doing it after Lina died.

We spent the day at a different place where large rocks meet the water, Bagna di Tiberio. Don’t let the picture in the link fool you – that isn’t sand that you’re seeing. Anyway this with my Leica M9 and a 50 mm Summicron lens.

Here we are on the funicular that connects marina grande to the piazzetta.

On this day last year: a dull Fourth of July.
