NEW YORK NEW YORK – Today’s post is about New York but I’m actually writing it three weeks later from Todi Italy. My internet connections have been sketchy for the past few weeks so I’ve gotten behind on posting – I’ll catch up to date over the next few weeks by posting twice a day.

In actual fact July 11 was a distracted day in New York as I prepared for a trip to Boston followed immediately by three weeks of vacation in Europe.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – Where to start? I found myself today in the West Village in brilliant early evening light and got many interesting images (revisiting some sites that I’ve long been interested in). Then at cocktails for the Center for Fiction. I’ve had a lot of trouble editing.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – Hard to know what this is: a piece of junk or a valuable picture. I found it stood up on Park Avenue, apparently unattended. Shot with my Leica Monochrom and 50mm “rigid” Summicton lens from 1962.

NORTHVILLE CONNECTICUT and NEW YORK NEW YORK – Today I captured what looks like an abandoned farm stand using HDR and stitching techniques – this is the technically the best image possible for this mundane subject. Driving back to New York our nav system took us on a circuitous route through Northern Manhattan to avoid traffic. I was stopped in traffic often enough to snag some storefronts.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – Shooting around home in the late afternoon (after catching a Mets day game) I had a chance to shoot a number of subjects that required both HDR to lengthen the gray scale, and required multiple image stitches to create a filebigenough to correct perspective without loss of quality. The results were lovely in the case of the first image below. This far exceeds anything that I could have done in film shooting 4×5 and controlling perspective with view camera movements. The image required 18 exposures and about an hour’s work in post.

Day 2442 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life. Nice: 2442 is a palindrome.

On this day last year (day 2077): Villedieu France. This is a cat. I don’t photograph cute pets and I don’t care for cats. There do need to be occasional exceptions, however.
