WARREN CONNECTICUT – More snow. This weekend I’ve been shooting almost exclusively with my Leica f.95 Noctilux lens. Today I used a 1.8 neutral density filter, which provides six f-stops of darkening and permits me to shoot wide open at f.95 in the brilliant snowy landscape. This provides for a distinctive look that can’t be obtained any other way. The first image is two frames stitched.

Day 1,871 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.

On this day five years ago (day 45): Litchfield Congregational Church.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – So we’re here for a long Thanksgiving weekend with Alexander, Francesca, Laura and Baby V. This is turkey hash day: I turn 100% of the leftover turkey into hash, serve it for dinner, and toss the carcass – I don’t fid turkey stock to be especially useful. More snowshoeing and enjoying a perfectly clear, not-too-cold, winter day.

Day 1,870 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.

On this day three years ago (day 774): Really wide. Four frames stitched.

Thursday November 27, 2014 Thanksgiving

WARREN CONNECTICUT – I’m dreaming of a white Thanksgiving, just like the ones we used to know . . . .

Here we are after about a foot of snow in the past day. This is completely lovely. We managed some snowshoeing around our other activities which consisted mainly of eating and cooking.

Day 1,869 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.

On this day three years ago (day 773): New Preston CT.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – We drove up here this morning through a snow storm – we ended up getting about 12 inches here. This is fun. It’s still novel. We went snowshoeing. We probably won’t feel this way at the end of February.

Day 1,868 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.

On this day four years ago (day 407): Foggy Thanksgiving.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – Another day shooting with my f.95 Noctilux lens. I’m using this lens mostly in daylight, so I keep a neutral density filter on it (in effect sunglasses) so I can shoot it wide open, which provides its special look. Today I did a still life at home with mirrors, one my favorites of this sort of thing in the past five years. I also shot a detail from our building, and a “lone person” in midtown.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – Walking on a side street in the East 80s I came across a construction project: a crane lifting very large sheets of plate glass up to a penthouse.

Day 1,865 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.

On this day four years ago (day 404): Kimball declaims. I re-edited November 23, 2010 and selected a “look up” picture from this date, rather that the one posted four years ago.
