ANTIGUA – Day two in this tropical paradise. I’ve brought a single camera on this trip, my lovely Leica Q with its 28mm fixed lens. A very nice camera but one with a point of view: you’re going to see some wide this week

28mm used to be one of my favorite focal lengths. It still is what it is, but the impact of the point of view has been diluted because the iPhone camera is the equivalent to 28mm so there a a gazillion images out there with the same point of view. Seems more pedestrian than it used to. Still, the Leica Q is an interesting camera.

ANTIGUA – We left our apartment at a bizarrely early hour today to get on a direct flight to this island paradise, where we are spending a week of R and R, unwinding from some occupational and personal stress in the last three or four months. Not bad. There’s a new air terminal here; it was 17 minutes from being on the tarmac to in a cab on our way to our accommodations. Try that in New York!

I’m traveling light, with only my wonderful Leica Q, which has a very high quality fixed 28mm lens. Of course I’ll be converting to black and white.

I struggle as a photographer in the tropics. Another shot of a palm tree, anyone? How about some nice frothy surf? Anyway, today’s image is a rocking chair.

BROOKLYN NEW YORK – I took the L line most of the way to its end in Brooklyn today to visit a warehouse to coordinate the pickup of a table that we had shipped from France during our trip in June. The light wa generally very good so I got a fair number of decent images, typified by those below. All shot with my Leica Monochrom and 1958 Dual Range Summicron lens.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – Tied up with phone calls at home I became a bit concerned about getting my image for the day so I shot some abstractions with my Sony 7rii. Then later in the day I actually found some decent light at Lexington Avenue and 87th Street.
