WARREN CONNECTICUT – March is a really disappointing month here. The vernal equinox, the first day of Spring, happens in March, but Spring is nowhere to be found here. Three frames stitched, taken with my Leica Monochrom and “Luxochron” lens.

Day 1,969 of one photo every day for the rest of my life.

On this day five years ago (day 143): Cholla captured at Joshua Tree National Park. This image was originally posted in color – back when I was shooting Hasselblad medium format. It’s much stronger converted to grayscale, which illustrates that I really do imagine in black and white.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – Oddly, yesterday’s image of Papaya King was popular on Twitter. No accounting for taste. Maybe it just seems mundane to me as a result of familiarity. Another similar image today – when the city is covered with snow recycling gets backed up.

Day 1,967 of one photo every day for the rest of my life.

On this day last year (day 1,602): Dive. Return from a dive in Turks.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – OK, OK. Ive shot the Papaya King in East 86th Street before. And does it really make sense in black and white given that we’re missing the egg-yolk yellow color. Here it is in any event. And another pinhole image from a year ago. Not every day in the photo-a-day world is equal.

Day 1,966 of one photo every day for the rest of my life.

On this day last year (day 1,601): Another pinhole. Also converted to black and white for this year’s posting.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – I walked from my office to the Metropolitan Opera this evening in light rain. The city looks great when its cold, dark and wet.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – It was too nasty today to venture outside. Have I mentioned that I’m getting tired of winter? So I spent the day in my home office and shot around the house with my Noctilux lens and a close-up attachment on my Leica T. Here are the results.

Day 1,964 of one photo every day for the rest of my life.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – Winter fatigue is fully evident here. Will the snow ever go away? As usual, taken with my Leica Monochrom camera and a 50mm lens – in this case three frames stitched.

On this day four years ago (day 502): Grid. The view from the cafeteria at Dewey, a now defunct law firm. As originally posted this image was in muted color; I’ve since converted it to black and white.
