NEW YORK NEW YORK – On the street and at the Metropolitan Museum with my Leica Monochrom and the new 28mm Elmar lens, a lens that I’ve become addicted to.

In this day last year (day 1975): Old Nikkor. Last year at this time I was experimenting with an 85mm Nikkor lens (rangefinder mount) from the mid-1950s. It’s a lovely lens and was a breakout product for Nikon. This is a different image than the one I used last year.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – Have I mentioned my neck spasms – I’ve been trying to function for the past four or five days with a lot of pain: major spasms in my neck. Serious enough that I’ve actually slept sitting up in a chair for the past four nights. So my output of photos has been crimped a bit. Today I got out and managed a half dozen images but didn’t notice a massive greasy finger print on my lens, a mistake that I wouldn’t make had I been feeling a bit more normal. Sunday (yesterday) was my low point so I was reduced to photographing the top of a weathered table.

Day 2336 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
