NEW YORK NEW YORK – Back here at last. I experimented today with my 15mm Carl Zeiss super=wide lens. Sorting through thirty or forty images from the day there are none that I like – I don’t know whether its the focal length, the way the lens draws, or just an off day. It seems to fool the light meter in my Leica Monochrom – a lot of over-exposures despite ⅔ of negative exposure bias. It’s going back into my gear locker for now.

ANTIGUA – I’m doing further experiments with “bokeh”, the quality of the out of focus portion of a lens. The hokeh of my 50mm Leica Summicron Asp. isn’t bad at f/2.0.

ANTIGUA – We hung out on the beach today, with me scrambling a bit to find a suitable image. The first image is Maria in her natural habitat shot with my Leica Monochrom and 50mm Summicron Asp. with a neutral density filter to permit shooting wide open to isolate the foreground.

ANTIGUA – Day two in a Caribbean Paradise. I’m starting to get my photographic bearings. Still shooting with a 10mm Voigtlander super wide lens on my Leica Monochrom – still a ways to go in terms of producing interesting images.
