WARREN CONNECTICUT – Today I’m shooting with a Carl Zeiss Jena lens from 1932. The focal length, 21mm, was remarkably wide for its time. I use an adapter that permits it to be mounted on a Leica screw mount film body. Next in the stack comes a Leica screw mount to Leica M adapter, and finally a Leica M to Sony adapter. Rube Goldberg but it actually works. I’ve mounted this combination on my Sony 7rII which I’ve had converted to infrared. Here you go:

NEW YORK NEW YORK – If your read the fine print I’m posting this on Sunday October 9 – I’ve posted this exactly one week after shooting it. That’s actually my objective. I need a week to sort and edit images. On a typical day I take 30 to 50 images reflecting five or ten ideas. It’s actually a fair amount of work to decide what to post here, and some standoff in terms of time helps my editorial perspective. I’ve actually been running about a month late for a while for a variety of reasons, so I’ve been posting four or five entries a day during the past week to catch up. I hope to return to a more thoughtful editorial stance.
Today I shot in Central Park and on Upper East Side side streets with my Leica Monochrom on a tripod so I could use slow exposures to allow wind blur.
Day 2544 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day four years ago (day 1083): One of the few gas stations in Manhattan
