Out my window

Thursday February 12, 2015

NEW YORK NEW YORK – I had an inside day today with bad weather outside and a lot to do in front of a computer. This leaves three choices for my daily photo: an interior of our apartment, a close up detail, on an “out my window”. I guess a selfie or a picture of our dog would be possible but I’ve banned those subjects from these pages. And of course there is Maria but she get irritable when I sneak up on her with a camera. There was a light snow so I opted to shoot out the window. On the tag cloud on the administrator’s side of this website the word “snow” is getting bigger and bigger.

Day 1,946 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – A hectic day here. I finally got around to thinking about my daily photo at dinner time, today shooting with my iPhone 6S, which is as capable as the last generation of pocketable cameras. Let’s see if you can guess where this is (one of my favorite modernist icons).

Day 1,944 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – Back on the street with my Leica Monochrom on a very, very cold day. I lean toward a single lens, a 50mm Leica Summicorn Asph., which I refer to as a Luxochron. Most images are wider – I do this by stitching multiple images:The tennis court bubble and the underside of the 59th Street Bridge is six frames stitched in Photoshop.

Day 1,943 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.

On this day four years ago (day 482): Film! I shot this four years ago with a medium format rig shooting Ilford XP-2 “chromogenic” film. This illustrates the good and the bad of film. The bad: the white line to the right of Citicorp Center is actually a scratch on the negative – it arrived back from processing in that condition. It’s very odd that it’s perfectly parallel to the building – it almost looks like an act of vandalism. In subsequent versions of this image I’ve edited the line out.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – We maintain a tradition of getting the family together for dinner on Sunday for a . . . Sunday family dinner. This evening we caught up with Laura and Alexander and of course Baby V, who is featured here today. Yes I know that I’ve promised no cute dogs and kids on this site, but we’ll all just have to live with an occasional exception. The elephant is a gift from India.

JODHPUR INDIA – Well here we are, on our last day in India. I snapped this at a little temple that’s in the boutique hotel that we’re staying in out in the desert here. Then the descent into the air travel system – 24+ hours back to New York.
