NEW YORK NEW YORK – I found myself in the Flatiron District stocking up at Paragon and Photo Care for our forthcoming trip to Switzerland, and stopped for lunch in the lovely public space next to the Flatiron Building. Taken with my Alpa TC, 80 meg Phase Once back and 48mm Schneider lens.
On this day one year ago: Honor. A new boutique.
BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS – My second day in this ancient Commonweath. I took a walk along the harbor with my Sony Nex-7 and Leica 24mm Summilux but didn’t come up with much. There were a few tired looking pedestrians and C+ light. The second image below proves that I was out there. The best shot of the day may have been in my hotel room – the first image below. Some days it just doesn’t pay to get out of bed.
On this day last year: Hostas..
WARREN CONNECTICUT – We took our new old boat out for a sunset cruise on Lake Waramaug. The spotlight on this think is irresistible – I’m going to have to break it off to eliminate the temptation to include it in every image taken from the boat. Take with my Leica M9 and 24mm Summilux.
On this day one year ago: Peonies.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – Here we are continuing the thread on light coming from unexpected places. Taken with my Sony Nex-7 and 24mm Leica Summilux lens.
On this day one year ago: Peggy.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – More of the same. Two images of sunlight showing up in strange places causing me to take a fresh look at familiar places taken with my Sony NEX=7.
Later in the afternoon a storm passed over creating serious drama out my dining room window. Captured with my Alpa TC, Phase One digital back and 32mm Rodenstock lens.
On this day one year ago: Lincoln.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – A perfect weekend. Here’s a view of the oak outside of our front door, and a snapshot of a picnic on our new old boat, and of the new old boat itself (a 1952 Chris Craft in amazingly good operating order – we got lucky on this one). I think of the second image as truly a moment to treasure. All taken with my Sony Nex-7.
I just received a camera that’s a bit of a curiosity. It’s called a Lytro. It incorporates highly innovative technology that lets you select a focus point after the image is taken, using Lytro’s proprietary software. This aspect of this device actually works and is amazing. But . . . the tiny viewing screen is useless in daylight (this is a point and guess camera) and the quality of the jpeg file output is poor. Here’s an example. Oh well . . .
On this day one year ago: Out my window.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – Have I told you about my other passion? You guessed “food”, right? We’re having house guests this weekend in Connecticut so I planned menus and did food shopping today. I’m a poor multi-tasker so today’s photograph is pretty undistinguished, derivative of myself, an egg crate building shot an an angle. Taken with my Fuji X Pro 1.
On this day last year: Sam Flax.
