NEW YORK NEW YORK – Still shooting with the tiny 28mm Summaorn lens, a Leica re-issue of a lens introduced in 1955. It really has rekindled my interest in this focal length, which I’ve been neglecting for a while. Good light in Manhattan (which is covered by dirty snow drifts – the residue of the blizzard) and an image of an image.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – The highlight of my day was a visit to our doctor’s office for my annual echo cardiogram. There was nice light on Park Avenue.

On this day two years ago (day 1,979): Kitchen I was definitely hard up last year – reduced to shooting a vase of tulips.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – I had meetings in Boston today, and then took the Acela back down here.  I prefer the train to flying, but there is a downside: on the New York end you end up at Penn Station.  I got my images of the day outside of Penn Station as the light was failing.  I generally travel with my Leica Monochrom and a single lens.

By the way there was some confusion about my post for March 6.  I’m writing this in Connecticut (on March 14 – remember that I post with a week’s delay from the date of the image) and my image for March 6 is on my computer in New York.  I’ll sort it out when I get back to New York later this week.

BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS – I got out on the street for an hour today with my Leica Monochrom and 50mm Summicron Asp. lens. The light was only ok so I settled for an abstraction. This really is an abstraction – it’s a “look up” turned on its side. It’s a commentary on the architecture that you literally can’t tell which way is up.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – A prolific day. I took time to slow down and shoot. The light in Manhattan was lovely. I wasn’t fighting the cold, a cold, equipment issues or anything else. Leica Monochrom and 50mm Summicron Asp. lens.
