NEW YORK NEW YORK – Now we’re talking. Out with my Leica Monochrom today and the lovely 75mm Summicron lens. Here’s a multi-frame capture of the Lipstick Building and Citicorp Center reflected off of 909 Lexington. Why haven’t I ever seen this angle before. My mojo is edging back into the picture.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – I’ve pointed out before that when the building we live in was built our apartment had a sweeping view of the East River. Now it’s a cityscape, an endlessly changing mosaic that I actually prefer. I explored it today with a long lens on my Leica Monochrom.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – When our building was built in the early 1920s our apartment had a panoramic unobstructed view of the east river, probably somewhat tarnished by the brewery that was located between Park Avenue and the river. The brewery is long gone and the space between Lexington Avenue and the East River has been filled with high rise rental buildings. Today’s image is a long shot (taken with a 280mm lens) of the one remaining sliver of river view. I actually don’t mind – the cityscape out our window is actually lovely.
