NEW YORK NEW YORK – We went to Brooklyn these evening; made dinner out of a Ruben Sandwich at Junior’s; and saw Julie Taymor’s production of Midsummer Night’s Dream at the Shakespear space at BAM. Priceless. Earlier in the day while hunting for topics for this site at put my lens up against a subway sidewalk grate and shot away. All with my Leica Monochrom.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – As I said yesterday . . . back to a monochromatic world. Cab ride. Taken with my Leica Monochrom and 24mm Summilux lens.

On this day last year: Trees. Here’s some Autumn color without the color. Come on. Admit it. You like the splashy color ones better, don’t you.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – Here’s a gallery of Fall color images. It’s Sunday so we’re going back to the city and by the time we’re back here next weekend the leaves will be gone. So with any luck you won’t have to put up with oranges, yellows and reds much longer. Fall is almost over. I promise to get back into my monochromatic groove once the weather turns ugly. All images with my Leica S2 medium format camera and a 70mm or 24mm lens. This thing is irresistible this time of year.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – I drove up here this morning – my first time in Connecticut in over a month (apart from a flash trip to fetch Basil). Boy do I need this. I missed the most beautiful month of October in New England history, and arrive here today a driving rain. That’s the first image. Oh well. It cleared up later so I caught up with the end of the fall color. All taken with my medium format Leica S2.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – First an image with my Leica Monochrom and Luxochron lens, looking up in Manhattan in the early evening. This is a great setup for shooting Manhattan at night handheld. This can result in some nice images particularly after the end of daylight savings time next week because it is dark at 6:00 when buildings are still full illuminated by lights in offices.

I joined some friends in going out to South Williamsburg for dinner at a restaurant called XiXa. Pronounced “shiksa” by the owner. No kidding. It was supposed to be a Southwestern dive but it turned out to be serious Asian-Mexican fusion at a very high level. A major upside surprise.
