NEW YORK NEW YORK – I’ve been taking this stuff too seriously. Let’s call this a fun day. Go ahead, try to figure out what this is. Taken with my iPhone.
On this day last year: Gummy plastic heart.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – Not much going on today visually in my life. Walking home from the office I worked on generating some abstractions from Bloomingdale’s facade. Taken with my Leica Monochrom and 1945 50mm f1.5 Carl Zeiss Jena Sonnar lens. The out of focus points of light are rendered by the Sonnar as little doughnuts. I’m not certain why.
On this day last year: I can shoot in color. I just don’t do it that often.
GASPARILLA ISLAND FLORIDA – One last image before we return to New York. Leica Monochrom plus 24mm Summilux lens and .9 neutral density filter.
On this day last year: Basil is not amused.
GASPARILLA ISLAND FLORIDA – Some days are better than others. This is one of the better days. I walked around what is now pretty familiar territory getting closer to some of the local landscape. Seaside is always a challenge, because in a very fundamental way it all looks the same. I was productive enough that I thought that today warrants a mini gallery. Maybe it’s just an editing failure on my part. All images with my Leica Monochrom with 18mm Super Elmar lens. The first image is three frames stitched.
On this day last year: Francesca.
GASPARILLA ISLAND FLORIDA – Bike shop take with my Leica Monochrom and 18mm Super Elmar super lens. A very gray day – I haven’t felt much like shooting anything else.
On this day last year: March snow storm.
GASPARILLA ISLAND FLORIDA – A boating day. All with my Leica Monochrom but three different lenses: the first with my 18mm Super Elmar; the second with my 50mm f.95 Noctilux; and the third with my 35mm Summicron pre-Asph. v.4 (the Bokeh King).
On this day last year: Luncheonette.
GASPARILLA ISLAND, FLORIDA – We visited this island paradise, Nantucket with palm trees, a year ago and kind of liked it. So we’re back. But this time the weather was uncooperative. Mostly cold and dreary with fleeting sunlight. But we’re with good friends so it’s a terrific weekend in any event. Here’s a picture of Tom Barry at dinner, taken with my Leica Monochrom and 50mm f.95 Noctilux lens. I’ve gained a lot more confidence in this lens since I’ve gotten glasses that correct for my astigmatism.
On this day last year: Sadie Hawkins Day.
