NEW YORK, NEW YORK – My birthday. This image is of the 59th Street Bridge and a pylon for the Roosevelt Island tramway at sunset. As of this post I’m adding information about camera and technique, not because it matters (the images speak for themselves) but to provide a bit more traction to search engines, which look for words, not pictures. S0 . . . Leica M9 with a 28mm aspheric Summicron lens.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK – Once again I’m stalking the Chrysler Building. This time from behind the UN Secretariat Building, in color, shooting with medium format.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK – A foggy rainy day on Park Avenue. All links fixed.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK – One Rockefeller Plaza on a rainy, foggy night after the theatre.
WARREN, CONNECTICUT – A bafflingly beautiful Spring day. Repair of of broken links is proceeding – we have updated he months of October and November, 2009 and March and April of 2010.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK – 12 11 Park Avenue. Limited time spent shooting today – most of my day was spent diagnosing and fixing the causes of this blog’s crash. I think I have it sorted out, but the fix breaks the link to the photo in every post (there are now more than 180 of them) so I have to repair every link manually. I’musing this as an opportunity to apply what I’ve learned in the past six months on indexing and key words, so the process is time consuming.
HARWINTON, CONNECTICUT – I drove to Harwinton today to visit the Connecticut DEP office there, to pick up a boat license. Like most other Litchfield County towns Hawinton has a Congregational Church on a small green – the congregation dates to 1738. The 1935 “Connecticut Guide” says this about Hawrinton
In Harwinton Village, the Congregational Church was built in 1806. The design is simple but pleasing, with the heavily molded cornice of pediment and roof. The 3 front doorways have rounded fanlights and pedimented hoods. Above the central doorway is a Palladian window, repeated in the tower. On the north of the Church is the stone Memorial Chapel, beautiful but incongruous, given by Collis P. Huntington, the financier of the Southern Pacific R. R., in memory of his mother. Huntington was born in the town in1821, and worked on a farm here until the age of 14, when he went to New York to seek his fortune.
