WARREN CONNECTICUT – We spent the better part of the daylight hours today working on Christmas decorations. I’ve included three views of our Christmas tree process. There’s a link to a video below, which I don’t know how to actually include as a video on this site.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – I’m actually writing this on Christmas day – remember that I post with about a week’s delay to give me some breathing room for editing. I found a number of good images today but only one of them, the facade of the Waldorf Astoria hotel, is even vaguely Christmas-oriented so I’ll lead with the Waldorf. There was odd (for here) diffuse rather Flemish-looking sunlight today which gave familiar sights softer features.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – Another gray day with flat light and bright sky. Ugh. Not a good environment for cityscapes. I plod onward.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – My daily peregrinations took me past a building on 72nd Street that has been converted to a movie set. Here’s what it looked like.

WARREN CONNECITCUT – Have I mentioned that it’s winter here. I often shoot long on days like today – the flattened perspective appeals to me in the flat light. Here I’m using a relatively recent acquisition, a Leica M 90mm Summicron, on my Leica Monochrom camera. This lens consistently delivers outstanding results.

Day 1,886 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.
