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.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – A physically miserable day – rain, fog, low flat sky. This is from my office window with the Leica Monochrom.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – We went downtown to explore the small retail presence of an online eyeglasses maker. They’re in the Puck building, just south of Houston. It appears that this building is now owned by New York University which is quietly bought up very important real estate in this area. Here’s the view out the 7th floor window. Taken with my Leica Monochrom and a 50mm Dual Range Summicron lens. Six frames stitched. The stitching software has done something odd here – the perspective of the original version of this image was somehow squished on the horizontal axis. I’ve replaced it with a de-squished version.
