NEW YORK NEW YORK – Some new experiments. My Leica Monochrom produces very high resolution. Most of the images that I post here have the capacity to be printed at 24 x 36 inches with ease. What if I crop aggressively: if I’m only interested in web resolution I can crop to very small areas. Here’s an example from today:

NEW YORK NEW YORK – A selfie taken in Dr. Lodge’s office. I’m here for a flu shot but in the process we found a deer tick so I get a blast of antibiotics (against Lyme disease) as well.

I took a picture on the same spot yesterday – it’s very appealing this time of year – but with a less wide lens (the Luxochrom) and using selective focus to emphasize the birches. Which do you prefer?

NEW YORK NEW YORK – Today I’m documenting the most elaborate gift that we have ever received. We have a friend of very long standing who is a London-based architect. For our wedding anniversary he painted in miniature a copy of Tiepolo’s Anthony and Cleopatra with Maria’s face on Cleopatra and mine on Anthony. No kidding. And then he built an elaborate frame to house it. Tiepolo is one of my big three Italian artists of all time. The image Guill selected is lush and voluptuous, full of Tiepolo excesses. Operatic. Just like Maria and me. Wow. (Let’s leave aside the fact that things ended badly for Anthony and Cleopatra.) Here it is in living black and white shot with my Leica S2 medium format camera and a 120mm macro lens from a tripod (I got serious with this one). Actually two frames stitched to maximize detail.
