NEW YORK, NEW YORK – I had a productive day walking from my office to our apartment via Central Park, so I’m posting multiple images; all taken with my Leica M9. Here is a sunbather on Sherman’s statue in the Plaza taken with my Leica and a 90mm lens.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK – Have I mentioned the weather lately? I’m sort of a puffy clouds in a blue sky kind of guy. There hasn’t been much of that around here lately. We’ve had a storm system settle down on top of us, like a mother-in-law coming to visit for a couple of days but staying for a month. This was taken on Third Avenue with my Leica M9 and a 135mm APO Telyt.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – I’m writing this about a week after I took the picture for May 16. The one week delay in posting gives me a chance to sort through images hopefully making an non-rushed decision on what to post. The scene out my window was the same as it was then and has been unchanged all month. We’ve had the rainiest May in memory. It’s as if the weather system has its coasts mixed up – you might expect this in Seattle but not here. This is three frames stitched with my Leica M9 and 135mm APO Telyt.
