NEW YORK NEW YORK – I met Maria and the Metropolitan Opera for a performance of Le Comte Ory, a Rossini opera with a genuinely goofy libretto but stunning coloratura. Here’s the Lincoln Center fountain captured while waiting with my Leica M9 and a 35mm Summicron lens known as the “bokeh king”.
On this day last year: Another image looking up. One of my favorites since I’ve started this project. Also taken with the bokeh king.
NEW PRESTON CONNECTICUT – Driving back from a real estate closing I stopped at the cemetery an New Preston. The Civil War had profound impact on these small New England towns and villages – many have memorials to the war dead. Taken with my Alpa TC, a 36mm Scheider APO and 60 meg Hasselblad back.
On this day last year: Emmet Gowin photograph.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – Birches in good light taken on a walk with Basil the Norwich Terrier with my Hasselblad 60 meg back and Alpa TC with a 36mm Schneider APO lens. This combination helps make relatively prosaic landscape look important.
On this day one year ago: Post office building on Third Avenue.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – I took a walk today in the Bryant Park area. This is the relatively new Bank of America Tower, the anchor for new office space development west of Bryant Park. shot with my Alpa TC with 60 meg Hasselblad back and 36mm Schneider APO lens. The building, which is certified green, is in better shape than its tenant.
On this day one year ago: Good morning light out my dining room window.
DELTA FLIGHT 2137 – I need to get my daily picture done even when I’m doing dumb or boring things like riding in an airplane. I caught sunrise out of my window – which partially redeemed a long flight in a window seat. Taken with my Panasonic GH2 and a 20mm pancake lens.
On this day one year ago: Zion Lutheran Church, New Orleans.
PORTLAND OREGON – We announced the finalists for the 2011 James Beard Foundation awards here this afternoon. I wasn’t able to photograph much during the day but I was able to catch this late in the day with my Leica M9 and a 24mm Summilux lens.
On this day one year ago: Cafe Beignet New Orleans. We were in New Orleans . . . announcing the 2010 Beard nominees.
PORTLAND OREGON – I made the trek to Portland because the James Beard Foundation is announcing the finalists for the 2011 James Beard Awards here. I had some free time this morning so a walked around Portland taking snapshots. All are with my Leica M9 and a 24mm Summilux lens.
On this day one year ago: Parkway Bakery and Tavern. Last year we were in New Orleans announcing the James Beard nominees.
