NEW YORK NEW YORK – We’re here this weekend, unusually. We had some social commitments in New York which very much tied us up. I fooled around again with my Leica 280 mm R lens on my Leica T. Here’s a close up of Maria. Again, this combination works very well.

On this day five years ago (day 38): Warren CT Congregational Church.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – I spent most of the day on foot. After taking the tramway to Roosevelt Island I walked most of the length of the island, then across a bridge to Queens, then to the Socrates Sculpture Park on the East River, and finally to a subway stop and back home. The winter light was fabulous – I had a good day of photographs.
Day 1,863 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.
On this day five years ag (day 37): Washington Congregational Church
NEW YORK NEW YORK – I don’t shoot with long lenses that often but I do like the combination of my Leica T, a couple of adapters, and my Leica R 280mm f4.0. This is a remarkable lens, given a new lease of life with the Leica T and its pretty good through the lens focusing. I’m enjoying experimenting with this lens shooting out my window. Here I’ve found a guy having a smoke on the roof of a building.
Day 1,862 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.

BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS – Keeping the string alive out my hotel window. Meh.
Day 1,861 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.
On this day five years ago (day 35): Old technology. This is a reshoot of day 28. I went back to Grand Central Terminal with the “bokeh king” (a 35mm Leica Summicron v.IV) lens and shot a much more energetic version of the pay phones image.
BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS – This started as a travel day with a trip here from New York. You may remember that travel days aren’t my best: the hassles of travel make it difficult for me to concentrate on the visual. I ended up shooting a picture of my iPad with my iPhone. It’s not Caravaggio but it keeps the string alive.
Day 1,860 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.
On this day two years ago (day 1,130): Maria swims.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – Well . . . remember those meetings that I wrote about over the weekend? They’re now. I managed to slip out for a half hour to shoot around midtown, so here you go. Nothing earth shaking here, just lucky to have some images.
Day 1,859 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.
On this day four years ago (day 398): High speed.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – I took a break from meeting preparation to take a walk with my Leica Monochrom and 90 mm Elmarit lens. I ended up doing a lot of stitches – the lens was a bit long for most of the subjects that I saw. The example below is three frames stitched.
Day 1,858 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.
On this day five years ago (day 32): 919 Third Avenue.
