NEW YORK NEW YORK – I went hunting for images in the neighborhood today with a longish lens (a 90mm) and found a couple of odd angles. Long lenses are a challenge for me; I much more often shoot wide. The fire escapes are two frames stitched.
Day 1,755 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.
On this day last year (day 1,390): Park Avenue.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – Today I actually took exactly one picture today: in an alley on 93rd Street. I’ve got a few other alley shots from earlier dates so maybe there is a thread that I should pursue. Or maybe not. Reviewing the past almost five years of images I’ve learned that August 1 isn’t a terrific day for me in terms of photography.
Day 1,751 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.
On this day four years ago (day 290): Could be any place.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – A pedestrian “look up” and some pedestrian pedestrians. I’m cycling through lens choices for my Leica Monochrom, preparing myself mentally for a trip to Basque country in Spain in a week or so.
Day 1,749 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.
On this day three years ago (day 653): Dhow, Lamu. Taken with my Phase One IQ 180 (subsequently sold because I get better results overall with my Leica Monochrom).
NEW YORK NEW YORK – Not a whole lot going on here to day. I hit the street with my camera and tried to generate some excitement, without much success.
Day 1,748 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.
On this day four three years ago (day 652): Lamu, converted from the original to black and white. Lamu was relatively safe three years ago but it’s in a bad neighborhood (15 miles or so from Somalia). Really a shame.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – I spent some time today exploring an old haunt – the plaza in front of the Seagrams Building. I never tire of this.
Day 1,747 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.
On this day last year (day 1,,443): Peter.
LONDON – I took a walk today in Notting Hill along Portobello Road. Thursday is a quiet day here; no throngs, no antique stalls, few food stalls. We had a near perfect Neapolitan-style pizza for lunch.
Day 1,743 in one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day two years ago (day 1,068): The Hyde Collection.
LONDON – My sister in law and I went to the Tate Modern to see the large Malevich show there, which was spectacular. I then got my exercise for the day walking the south bank from the Tate Modern, past the new US Embassy under construction, to the huge development being built at the Battersea Power Station.
Day 1,742 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.
On this day two years ago (day 1,068): Bunheads in Saratoga New York, where there is a serious dance community.
