NEW YORK NEW YORK – I showed up at 30 Rock today to take a look at the Van Gogh’s Ear installation, a swimming pool tipped up on end. Cool but poor light so I went home with only a poor image. I caught some reflected light on Park Avenue on my way home.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – I made it down to the World Trade Center today, where the light, like the air, was very hot. I had trouble sorting down to a single image so you’re stuck with a mini gallery. All shot with my Leica Monochrom and a variety of lenses, mostly an 18mm Super-Elmar and 75mm Summichron.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – This is the official beginning of construction to add a couple of bedrooms to our house here, anticipating future family expansion. The slightly enlarged footprint of the house runs into our existing well, so we’re digging a new one. Today’s photos are taken with my Leica Monochrom and a 1958 Dual Range Summicron lens (three frames stitched in the case of the first image).

NEW YORK NEW YORK and NEW MILFORD CONNECTICUT – On Park Avenue today I had a slightly melancholy moment: our adult son, Alexander, went to pre-school at the Park Avenue Christian Church Day School. The parish house where the pre-school was housed has been demolished and is now a building site (the first photograph below), no doubt laid low by declining church attendance.
The second photograph is of a ziggurat in New Milford known as the J. Pol memorial. Here’s a link to my 2009 post about it, which very briefly tells his story: J. Pol Memorial
