NEW YORK NEW YORK and MARBLE DALE CONNECTICUT – It must be a summer Friday. The morning found me on Madison Avenue near home in the 90s running errands; lunchtime found us in Marble Dale stopped for a burger at a local roadside joint named Clamps. No McDonald’s here! Lovely light in both place captured with my Leica Monochrom and Luxochron lens.

Day 1,708 of one photograph a day for the rest of my life.

CHICAGO ILLINOIS – Still here, but rushing to get back to New York between thunderstorms. We stayed at a boutique hotel on the gold coast, so I spent some time exploring local alleys. This is expensive real estate. Odd that Chicago hasn’t put the utilities underground.

Both images with my Leica Monocchrom.

Day 1,703 of one photo every day for the rest of my life.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – I ran into my friend Tom Barry in front of the Colony Club; I found myself on the sidewalk in front of the Ferrari store on Park Avenue, where a 1961 California Spyder (perhaps the most beautiful car ever made) was parked next to the curb; and I found myself on Sixth Avenue looking up. Hard to decide so here you go with all three, all taken with my Leica Monochrom and a 50mm Luxochron lens.

Day 1,701 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.

On this day last year (day 1,336): Big red thing. At least it was red last year. In light of my new commitment to all things black and white I’ve translated the image to grayscale for the look back. If you want to see it in color you can click through to the link to last year.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – I really need to get out of Manhattan to freshen up my perspective. We’ve got a trip planned to Chicago for the weekend – maybe that will do the job.

Day 1,700 of one photo every day for the rest of my life. That’s four and two-thirds years.

Meh

On this day four years ago (day 239): Basil’s bar Mustique.
