NEW YORK NEW YORK – We left here a week ago for the Caribbean in blustery late Winter, and arrived back yesterday evening to a city in bloom. Spring is a distraction for me: images of flowering shrubs are rarely “strong” but every year I need to get a few of these out of my system.

HOUSTON TEXAS – My final day of portfolio review. I had hoped to get out and about around Houston but the portfolio reviews have taken up most of my time and energy, so more stuff today from downtown Houston in an around Sam Houston Park. Apparently people don’t actually go to parks in Houston. And of course the carpet in the Downtown Houston Doubletree hotel, which I will be glad to escape.

On this date last year (day 1987): Antigua. We’ll be going to Antigua for a week of family Holiday the day after tomorrow. Let’s see if I can master the “tropic photo blues”.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – I liked the light here this morning so I was fairly productive. Choosing has been difficult so I’m presenting an mini-gallery today. All shot with my Leica Monochrom and 50mm Sumicron Asp. lens. In some cases images are stitched from multiple frames.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – I sent my Monochrom to Leica for service today – it’s been over a year and it has had some very hard use so it’s time for a CLA (clean, lubricate and adjust). I decided to buy a second Monochrom as a backup – I found a very lightly used one from a reliable dealer. The new camera arrived today so I spent an hour putting it through its paces. It’s fine.

Later in the day I caught an alley with it.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – Another day of shooting with my new little 28mm f2.8 lens. To get this one I hold the camera at arm’s length above my head to see over a fence and made three shots that I stitched. A typical day.
