NEW YORK NEW YORK – I’m very busy preparing for a whole series of meetings. My limited time outside today yielded little in the way of images, but there was a moment of amazing light out my window that I managed to capture in two images.

Day 2020 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.

On this day three years ago (day 925): Spring in NY. As I went back through the various April 27s in the past five years I observed that I shot them all in color and they are all flowers. This is what I call the “Spring trap” and I evidently fall into it this time of year. I’ve re-imagined the image from three years ago as black and white. Interestingly the converted files always look a little plasticy, not as authentic as the Leica Monochrom files.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – Continuing to work on some themes here: alleys and vacant lots. I also do a “shoot up” whenever light favors it.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – Two views of the Lower East Side: a look up at the slick facade of the New Museum, and a full frontal portrait after Weston of a disused synagogue. Both taken with my Leica Monochrom and 35mm Summicron Lens; the New Museum is a single frame; the synagogue is eight frames stitched.

Day 2016 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – Another day on the lower east side. I was less moved by it than usual so I didn’t bring much back – based on a rough edit a small tree in bloom is about the best. Also an alley from later in the day.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – However hard I try I can’t avoid the fact that . . spring is everywhere. And it looks nice. It’s almost not cold here, and the early spring light is crisp and beautiful. I could go on about the paradox of beauty in art, but lets just enjoy the moment. On the first image below at least I was able to shoot my 1954 Leica Dual-Range Summicron wide opwn, which makes the out of focus portion of the image delicious, so there is at least something to talk about here.
