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).

Day 2375 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.

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
