NEW YORK NEW YORK – I’m loving my Leica Monochrom. In post processing I’ve been experimenting with some film looks to pretty good effect. Here are some examples from today all taken with the Monochrom and my 55-year old 50mm Dual Range Summicron.

I look for construction sites and vacant lots that create views through blocks that don’t exist otherwise and won’t exist for very long. Here’s the New York Life building – three frames stitched in Photoshop.

Morning light in our dining room.

On this day last year: fire pit. Color!

NEW YORK NEW YORK – Well, here we are in front of the Seagrams Building. A typical hangout for me. I often have meetings in the area and the plaza between the Seagrams Building and the Racquet and Tennis Club is one of the great urban spaces in the country. The plaza is presently featuring sculpture by John Chamberlain – works that look like they are made of crumpled up aluminum foil, but on a really large scale. Here’s one taken with my every-present Leica Monochrom and 35mm Summilux lens:

On this day last year: Matthew Marks Gallery.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – I dropped Francesca off at Hospital for Special Surgery to get the bones in her foot screwed back together. carrying my Leica Monochrom and a 50 mm Summilux lens. Remember this thing records only black and white and offers more resolution and better high ISO performance than the Leica M9.

From the hospital:

Walking back, two frames stitched:
