NEW YORK NEW YORK – A day of lovely light in the city. The light would be to harsh for non-urban landscape, but here the pavement and buildings act as giant reflectors illuminating shadows, making them less dense. I’m continuing my Leica Monochrom marathon, this time with a 28mm Elmarit lens. The word on the street on this lens is that its high level of sharpness and contrast boarder on offensive. It actually mates well with the Monochrom given the generally fiat look the the Monocrhom files have out of the camera. I had trouble choosing afavorite so I’m presenting a mini-gallery today.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – Stuck in my neighborhood, the upper east side, running errands today. A gray day at that. It appears that I’m in a slump. A local florist with my Leica Monochrom and 35mm Summilux FLE lens.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – Here’s a picture of a picture taken with my Leica Monochrom and Nocitlux lens. It seemed like a good idea at the time.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – Still photographing fall color without color. There was a moment of sensational light at sunrise. Captured with my Leica Monochrom and 50-year old Dual Range Suumicron (18mm Super Elmar in the case of the third image). These are some of the best images that I’ve gotten so far from the Monochrom.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – Still here. Warren. This is the best time of the year for this little patch of the Berkshire foothills. It’s foggy and rainy but I managed to shoot some foliage and record a tractor pull moment from the Warren Fall Festival. Leica Monochrom.

On this day one year ago: Central Park Reservoir. This in a single image captures why I’m selling my medium format kit to really specialize on my Leica. Once I get up on a tripod everything turns static and predicable.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – It’s the leading edge of leaf season up here in rural Litchfield County. Colors are fabulous. Of course I’m shooting with my Leica Monochrom, a black and white only camera, so I’m going to have to get creative. Autumn foliage in black and white. Pretty excentric, hun?

Here’s today’s effort.
