NEW MILFORD CONNECTICUT – We drove down here today to go to the Elephant Trunk, a massive flea market, which we’ve passed many times. This is pretty hard work. A lot, but not a lot, photographically. Colorful but all of these places look the same to me.
Day 1,753 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.
On this day four years ago (day 292): Transcoso, Brazil.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – While waiting on the 53rd Street Station for the E train (which is depressingly far under ground) I heard the sound of “Amazing Grace” being played on a bagpipe. I walked the length of the platform to investigate and found, rather than a ruddy Scot campaigning for succession, a wan, very sick-looking, young man. Here he is.
Day 1,751 on one picture every day for the rest of my life.
On this day three years ago (day 654): Lamu.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – You may remember that a couple of weeks ago (on June 4) I lost my pocket camera, a Sony RX 100 II, and the images recorded on it with near disastrous results. This is the day that my only image was an out-of-focus stairway, one of the crap images of all time. Well the Sony’s replacement, a Sony RX 100 III, has arrived so I’ll be shooting with it for the next week or so to sort out what its capabilities are. Let’s hope that I can hang on to it for a while.
Day 1,712 of one picture every day for the rest of your life.
On this day two years ago (day 982): Zuoz, Switzerland. A real place name from our trip trekking, two years ago, in Switzerland.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – My firm had a lovely outing this evening at the Central Park Zoo for summer associates. The idea was to bring families to try to prove to them that we are human beings. Harsh light made photography hard until a found myself in the chiaroscuro depths of the Penguin House. Taken with my Leica Monochrom.
Day 1,707 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.
On this day last year (day 1,343): Metropolitan Club. I’ve re-edited the group of pictures that I took on this day last year. I like this one much more than the one that I posted a year ago.
CHICAGO ILLINOIS – My daughter, Francesca, brought me here for a combined birthday/fathers day present: dinner tonight at Aiinea, currently number 9 on the San Peligrino list of the world’s 50 best restaurants. Much of the weekend was spent stuck in the air transport system as a result of weather delays. Today’s image could have been anywhere – we didn’t have time for any of the iconic Chicago places.
Day 1,703 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day four years ago (day 242):
NEW YOR NEW YORK – There was really good light on Broadway today. I hung out in the mid-60s for a couple of hours with my Leica Monochrom.
Day 1,702 of one photo every day for the rest of my life.
On this day last year (day 1,367): Grand Central Terminal at night.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – I took a walk on the West Side today, near Lincoln Center. Just OK stuff. I couldn’t figure out which of a number of uninspired shots I liked the best, so here are three.
Day 1,699 of one photo every day for the rest of my life.
On this day four years ago (day 238): She stalks the bride.
