WARREN CONNECTICUT – I spent some time with a camera in the garden in the early evening, getting excellent bokeh out of the Sony 85mm f 2.0 GM lens.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – Here’s Derek by the light of his mobile. I’m trying to avoid pictures of people on their mobiles (because now days the subject is grindingly pedestrian), but I make an exception for mobile phone light as a source of illumination. Obviously I couldn’t do this with a manual focus Leica, or for that matter with most camera’s – here I relied on the the Sony A7riii’s fine high ISO performance and excellent autofocus.

Day 3228 if one photograph every day for the rest of my life.

On this date seven years ago (day 671 of one photo every day): Shot in Central Park with a medium format technical camera on a tripod. This technique produces beautiful images from a technical standpoint but in my hands tends to be a bit static.

MANHATTAN – A flat day at home after yesterday’s field trip. Shooting with the Sony 85mm f2.0 lens, which is lovely.

LONG ISLAND CITY NEW YORK – I spent a good part of the day in Long Island City, the area in Queens just across from Randalls Island, shooting around the Pepsi sign. I was there seven or eight years ago when the area was a garbage strewn tidal mudflat. Now it’s a lovely waterfront park with luxury high rises with commanding views of Manhattan. All taken with my Sony A7riii.

Day 3225 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.

Just another Manhattan skyline but I’ve been shooting 432 Park Avenue (the needle building in the center of the image) whenever I see it.

Pepsi sign

We’ll here you have it: color! I wasn’t able to make this image work in black and white – the grays all merged – and I like the angle so I’ve departed from my B&W only policy, for the first time in years.

MANHATTAN – I made a pilgrimage to The Cloisters, a branch of the Metropolitan Museum in upper Manhattan today. It’s most famous for its Unicorn Tapestries but I actually trekked here to catch up with the Northern outpost of a Met show on Catholicism and fashion. Sorry for the big post – I was busy for a change.

MANHATTAN – A dreary day enlivened by a visit to Francesca and Derek to count Oliver’s fingers and toes. Not really in the zone for photography.

Day 3223 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life (a palindrome!).
