MANHATTAN – We’re here hunkering down for the major blizzard that we’re expecting tomorrow. So we lit a fire in our living room and sat and read. The object in the center of the mantle was made by an artist friend as an anniversary present: the image is after Tiepolo’s Antony and Cleopatra, with my and Maria’s faces substituted for Antony and Cleopatra.  And of course there’s a selfie.  I brought the andirons and the fender back from London as carry-on decades ago.  The Murano mirror was Maria’s mother’s.  That’s a lot of narrative, not my usual style.  Creeping nostalgia?

Day 5,947 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.

Looking back precisely 11 years to a rainy day at the Taj Mahal.  This is a personal favorite.  Day 1,929 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
